z The Star 33 Gardening Latest Christchurch news at www. .kiwi Thursday July 6 2017 GARDENING ADVICE with We have three fl owering cherry trees QUESTION in our section. They appear to be sending out roots which are coming up in other parts of the garden. What is the best way to stop this happening? I cut them back as soon they appear but the little devils grow so fast. Will they cause any damage to our new drive? And does cutting them back have any effect on the trees? Today’s winning question came from Patrick Duggan. Congratulations! It is quite common ANSWER for some cherry trees (depending on the root stock they are grafted on), to have suckers or vegetative growth emerging from near ground level and sometimes from the roots of the cherry tree. This growth should be cut back when it becomes apparent, otherwise it will grow quite quickly and consume energy that would otherwise be available to the fl owering cherry. In some instances, this suckering growth only occurs when trees are quite juvenile, and other times it may continue for a number of years. There is no danger to the cherry tree in cutting this growth back, in fact quite the opposite. Do not be concerned for your driveway; while the growth you outline is a nuisance, as long as it’s controlled quite quickly and regularly, there should be little or no chance of actual physical damage to surrounding pathways or driveways.

Because of their compact habit, strawberries can be grown in hanging baskets, containers or the aptlynamed strawberry pots, as well as the usual raised-up garden beds. They can begin cropping in a matter of weeks and will go on producing for much of the year, especially in warmer areas. •Strawberries in the garden – Choose a sunny position that hasn’t grown strawberries for a number of years and dig in some organic compost. Plant strawberry runners or seedlings into raised-up mounds, and apply a layer of mulch. It important it is to mulch the plants, both to retain moisture and to keep the fruit cleanly above the soil. Pea straw or lucerne hay make a good a mulch. Remove runners, unless you want to use them to propagate some new plants (which should be done every three years or so). •Strawberries in pots – Start by choosing a suitable container. Fill with a top quality potting mix and plant the strawberries. Water in well. Feed occasionally with plant food and watch out for snails and slugs. •Strawberries in hanging baskets – This is a fun way to grow strawberries, but the main challenge with growing any plant in a hanging basket is that it’s much more vulnerable to drying out. Line moss baskets with plastic sheet and poke holes for drainage. Fill with a hanging basket mix which contains added soil wetters and water-storing crystals. Ripe berries look particularly decorative dangling from a basket (right).
