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.

    • I don't care if they had every band I loved in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, the fact is we're surrounded by residential areas, and those who live not just around the park but for a good mile beyond, the noise is too loud. I can hear today's (23 May 2025 - 2pm onwards) noise from the east side of the park, and I had to shut my double glazed balcony doors and windows and can STILL hear it, from the other side of the park.   [email protected] and 02075255777 noise complaints.  In the news are items about people who listen to their music or speak to people on their phones loudly without headphones so we all hear it.  This is the same. 
    • Tau and the team from TM City Landscapes did a great job on my garden patio with retaining wall and rendering project. I would highly recommend.

    • Ah but they do -  Janet Kay as well on Monday, but sadly I am away.  Surely nobody can complain about some Lovers Rock.  Surely.....  
    • I am not here to justify or excuse Lambeth Council's decisions,  but you would have to be very very naive not to understand that cancelling several eventsof that size at auch short notice would be anything other than financially catastrophic for all involved.
