3 2009-10-25T09:56:12-04:00 false We have honey fungus! Apparently it's quite common for SE England. When I read the information about how to detect it, it all starts to fall into place - trees and woody shrubs dying off over the space of several years. Particularly prone are plum and apple trees, forsythia, currant bushes, roses. I just thought it was my general ineptitude. The advice appears to be dig out as much as you can get to, and then plant things which are resistant. There are several stumps to try and get out. It will involve dislodging some of the bulbs and other plants we've put in fairly recently. It's growing on the roots of the large apple tree, up through the grass. We have already planted a new rowan tree and while that isn't listed as especially susceptible neither is it in the list of trees that are resistant so we'll just have to see how it does. We're just trying to come to terms and work out what we can usefully do. This is really distressing, although it does at least provide an explanation for a number of things. Sadly bamboo is down as one of the more resistant plants so no hope of deterring the invader from next door! 0 false 1 70036 false false false Entry 2009-10-24T19:00:00-04:00 DMY Public 2009-10-25T09:56:12-04:00 155 63 F
