how do I cut back a walnut tree - the branches are overhanging the roof of my house and garage and it's quite noisy as well as the fact that the tree is causing too much shade in the garden. I only want to know where to cut on the branch and how far back I can cut it. A diagram would be the best thing or a website address. I have jsut had a quote for £500 and can't afford it. Many thanks

im quite new to gardening and have rescued lots of dying plants from garden centers, this has become quite addictive to me since they have all come great. i recently rescued some ethiopian banana plants that looked really sad but they didnt have any information cards in the pots, i got home and googled them and to my surprise learned that they grow huge! can i grow them in large containers to restrict their size or will this harm them??

Why are the leaves on my peach tree drooping and look ready to drop? It is planted in our greenhouse but it is not lack of water - I fed it a week ago and we had one hot day when I didn't open the door of the greenhouse - was it too hot or is there some other reason for this. It appears that the roots are just not taking up the water.

I have two ten foot cordylins which I purchased in large plastic pots. I have planted one in the ground as the leaves were turning yellow. I give it plenty of water and food. Am I doing something wrong as these were £250 each.

Hello, I live in Northern Brittany and have what I think is a very attractive walled garden. However, there is a spot where the house joins the garage which gets very little sun and can be quite damp. I would like to grow something quite big and colourful to cheer up this corner. I can put up a trellis but prefer not to. Would anyone have any ideas? Thank you.
