My autumn raspberries are not doing so well, some of the canes seem to be brittle and lean over, the leaves seem to yellow prematurely, and some of the fruit is poor and crumbles when picked.

My tree fern has been producing smaller and smaller fronds each year? I am growing them in pots.

I have attached pictures of the shrub rose that I am wanting to buy a support for, it produces masses of blooms each year and becomes weighted down as a consequence . Would the circular support help, at present its propped up with a spade and fork handle!

Would you be able to recommend a most suitable support for Dahlia's?

I have leylandii in a row to form a barrier between my garden and next door. There are some brown parts and I have a close up of the dead bit too, what do you think is causing this please?

Should I leave the new non-fruit bearing shoots of my rapsberries and loganberries on or cut these off to give the fruit more nutrients?

Which of your products would recommend to protect an over seeded lawn it is about 1000 square metres?

I bought a Camellia shrub in 2012 I think it was (sorry can't remember what type but think it is a red flowering Camellia) however to date it has never flowered. It was in a small pot when I purchased it from a supermarket. I re-potted it last year into an 8-10 inch pot because it had not flowered.

I have inherited an apricot tree in a garden in France which I suspect is at least 25 years old. Most of the fruit falls off the tree prior to maturity and I suspect this is because the tree is infested with an insect which eats and/or perforates the leaves
