Hi All. How is everyone doing? Anyone stuck indoors? Remember, this is a support group, and things don't always need to be medical. There is usually someone here if you just want a chat, a moan, or any stories. My wife has been stocking up on paint, so guess what I will be doing in the near future. Best wishes.
Hubby bought a silver birch in August, its dropped all its leaves already..... is it poorly do you think or just the season?
I know trees can be temperamental
Ours still has its higher leaves and looks ok.I expect it will be fine.x
Birch like lots of water. I guess it’s had enough recently but leaf loss won’t do any long term harm.
Doesn’t look too bad, plenty of water and feeding and it’ll be OK.
Phew..... he loves his new tree. Ha ha
Good to hear it may survive
Sending love
Clare
Hi Claire, silver birches grow into big trees. To be honest I think it needs to be in ground rather than a pot. Soil is still warm enough to plant out if you have the space?
Very true, it will become enormous, I remember deciding to remove a silver birch when it reached 30 feet. And don’t forget about all the pollen it produces which is blown about.
Hi H, how're you doing these days? Unfortunately the side effects of the pint & the red wine is an extra few pounds on the belly
I just thought it might be the catheter, but I don't know. It feels very bruised & like I've been stabbed & cut with a knife, but I suppose if they burn the tumours off then it's never gonna be pain free. Well, that's why I'm here, I had a G1 papillary urothlial, rather than the G2 pTa
. I rang the nurse & asked what's the difference but she said it was the same sort of thing. Why don't they call it the same then
. Great news eh, of course this means more celebrations for us all
