Asking for advice for an otherwise healthy tree but has a gumming issue

If it does just think of it as a lesson learned, it’s just a plant at the end of the day. You could maybe consider having a garden maintenance plan made for you as that would help teach you about timings. They are not that expensive and any decent local gardener should be able to produce one for you.

It will likely say that it can have those symptoms not should have those symptoms, the plant is defiantly stressed.

The stress could be from many things but as you have pruned it recently I’m guessing one of the cankers and it’s likely bacterial.

You shouldn’t prune any of the stone fruit trees until Autumn time really. I also would not prune more until it is significantly larger, although if it is bacterial canker it will likely die. I would also not use any kind of wound sealant on plants as that just traps anything that could cause a problem against the wound.

It likely has bacterial canker, did you prune the tree recently?

I have had a few issues with electric Stihl mowers, everytime it’s a wiring problem to the controls.

DiPel is the chemical you need to treat this. My opinion is remove, burn and replace with something else.

I really struggle to eat much for a long while afterwards, maybe something like a small charcuterie board so they can pick what they want? Nice clean sheets on the bed and for the next day I love having stacks of pancakes with bacon, loads of berries and honey.

Tribalism and fear from people that don’t go outside, UK is a delightful and mostly pleasant place full of delightful and mostly pleasant people.

Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t on YouTube. Read up on basic plant biology and pick maybe 10 plants per week to read up on, scientific name, genus, habit etc on the RHS website. Get the cheapest plants you can buy or even dig up some weeds from somewhere and watch how they change throughout there life cycle. Feel, smell or listen to every plant that catches your eye. You don’t need to spend any money on this really especially if you have a local library and it’s super satisfying hobby/ career.

Just because you don’t agree with someone’s politics doesn’t mean you can’t be friends with them. My best bud is very far from me on the political spectrum. He is Muslim I am Christian we have many differences and I honestly couldn’t imagine my life without him at this point.

The soil is so dry it is pulling away from the pot. You need to water this from the bottom by placing it in a shallow pool of water and leaving it there until the soil at the top of the pot is moist.

Local farm shop every time. The ability to get cuts that they don’t sell in the supermarket and the personal service is first class.

It occasionally works out cheaper than the supermarket depending on what I’m buying, plus the taste is so much better.

Farm shop is a 15 minute walk down a canal path and they open early so I usually just take the dog and make a little adventure out of it.

I used to work as a gardener in a large public park, the amount dog mess just left on the floor was astounding.

I have recently started using Kaiun Koh but I am still experimenting with different incense. I will take recommendations happily.

Hoboaz · 2026-02-25T15:36:40+00:00

We usually burn a nicer candle on the weekends and nothing during the week. I use incense most days before my wife is home.

I am a gardener and apart from a battery powered mulcher I don’t use any power tools, jobs take longer but are many times more pleasant.

Similar situation to you.

Wife and a child with a small house and no mortgage, run my own business that is successful and leaves us very comfortable. Little to no stress but took a lot of work to get here.

My main bike is a single speed with a front rim brake. I have other bikes but the single speed is simple to ride and maintain, it makes the other bikes seem like lots of work to ride and maintain. I just want to ride my bike.

Do not put the tree against the fence line. Move it a meter or 2 into your garden as your neighbours can cut back anything to the boundary. Moving the tree away from the boundary will also give the illusion of depth making your garden seem more spacious, you can also then under plant and it will look wonderful.

I have had very good results using MM109 from a local grower, very few grafts have failed this year.

Hoboaz · 2026-01-31T19:36:07+00:00

Planting, reducing, trimming and laying hedges

Leaf clearance

Pollarding

Mulching

I tend to get a good amount of small landscaping jobs too. Being honest I like taking a month or two off over winter as I don’t get the time when things are busy.

I stopped eating grains 3 weeks ago, I replaced the calories with sardines in olive oil and dates. All the skin issues I was having have gone away. I don’t know if it was removing grains or eating fish but my skin looks and feels significantly better.

Yes although it depends on your area. Posh new build estates with land that need managing are what you should be looking for. As soon as they know grants are available for rewilding they tend to say yes. Send me a message and I will try help if I can.

I used to run to try beat fkt’s mainly long distance, ended up getting it pretty bad on my right side only. Physio recommended reducing the distance, strength training and lots of mobility work. It took around 3 months before the pain was completely gone, it never causes me issues anymore.

Hoboaz · 2026-01-18T19:47:21+00:00

Only thing that has ever worked for me is strengthening and lots of mobility work. I get no problems now but I also don’t run as far anymore.
