We live in North Vancouver and have a bay tree. It's about 10 years old and about 3 meters tall. Although the soil is poor and it's in shade for almost half the day, it has been growing fairly well.

I have a 20+old Peace Lily that has been repotted several times. It is big. The last time it was repotted, I notice that the branches where not standing up straight, so I wrapped gardening string around the branches so there would stay upright. Two days ago, I removed the string and now the branches have all fallen over. How can I fix this ..read more

Been a while 6 years or so I have checked in here but I have kept my citrus trees from Bob Duncan at Fruit trees and more alive.

Also Yuzu with Cocktail grapefruit plus tree(s) of Pearl tangelo, kishu manderin, and the mother graft trees I used for mixes.
