Grotty Garrya
Kate Morgan
Some of the leaves on my one year old Garrya Elliptica are looking brown
and blotchy, does this mean it is ill or would it be due to the cold
weather. If it is the cold is it too late too bubble wrap it, advise
please.

Very likely the cold. I suggest only wrapping it up if a severe
frost is predicted, as simply putting bubble wrap on causes
condensation and encourages fungi. Garrya are pretty tough, and
most of them around Cambridge suffer some leaf damage in winter.
But, if you can provide some protection from freezing winds and
severe frosts, it will prefer it. It depends on where you live
how important that is.

I agree with Nick, but it is also true that Garrya is susceptible to leaf
spot fungus. Remove the very spotted leaves (unless that is all of them!)
and spray with a suitable fungicide (such as NimrodT) when a bit warmer.

No catkins on mine - but as this is only its second winter, I'm willing
to forgive it.

Sorry to be irritating but lots of catkins on mine which was planted
last year. The plant itself is only about 5 feet high but it's
planted in the lawn with no competition from anything but grass so I
wonder if that accounts for it.

catkins but in February last year it went all blotchy and the leaves started
to fall. We thought it was a gonner but in March we hit it hard with the
heavy pruners leaving us with a 3foot high leafless bush. It slowly broke
into new growth an it looks very healthy at the moment although we have no
catkins.
I suspect it was a fungal disease certainly not the cold. Last winter was
mild here in Berks and it suffered no ill effects in the very low
temperatures(-10) we experienced just before Christmas on our exposed site.

dispite my hacking!) but I find quite often Evergreen translates to
evertatty down here. The Garrya is lovely now but pretty desperate the rest
of the time - makes a good wind break and host for late flowered clematis
though :-)

Sigh:-( Lots of ordinary catkins round Carsington Reservoir today - no
great northern diver though.

Mine's up against a wall; west facing to give it some protection, so has
probably been interfered with and pruned more than yours. I'm still

magnificent display.
This year we have lots of embryonic catkins but the parent doesn't look
very happy at all :((((((((((

Maybe I'll try cutting ours back when March comes around.

Does the contorted green-dishcloth hazel flower later? The ordinary
hazels up at the nature park have been well out for the last few weeks,
by the ones on my contorted hazel are still only about an inch long and
bunched up. Or is it just my cold garden?

No - or else my garden is a cold as yours - the wriggly catkin bush is
nowhere near ready to flower yet, just tight little stumps waiting for
spring and sunshine.

Yes, that's the one - James Roof. Still willing to forgive it - it's
colder up here than it is down there. But next year...........
