We got the Southwark Council to put in fruit trees on the Woodland area beside Sainsbury on Dog Kennel Hill and behind the Adventure Playground but they need watering for this hot weather we are having - so if you can bring a container of water and even only water one tree that might help SAVE them? Cheers
I haven't seen the trees in question but also the high winds we have had will will make it hard to take root if the trunks are not firmly staked for the first 3 or so years, mulching around the base helps as does keeping the area around the base weed free.

The Tree Council have some useful information downloads:

and, at the opposite end of the weather spectrum....

I think they need resettling. I would be happy to come over with a spade and replant them. 10 L tree and shrub compost for each tree, 1 stake for each tree, 1 rubber fastener for each tree, a couple of packets of water retaining granules. PM to contact me. I am a horticulturalist.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
