Fmn Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 First - aubergines. Do I pinch out the side shoots like tomatoes and support with a stick?Second - cherry trees. We have two - one earlier than the other and both giving crops that I am well pleased with, but there is a seeping of sap at various 'joints' and they have both had a large amount of dead leaves/flowers appearing in bunches that are unsightly but not appearing to affect the crop in general. Is this likely to affect the whole tree if I don't do something about it, and if so, what do I do that's gentle and non-invasive? Or shall I ignore it?ThanksFran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chauffour Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 hi, not sure about aubergines, I've never pinched mine out and I still get a good crop.About the cherry, we had a young one which survived a couple of years but when the "bunching" you talk about was excessive (i think caused by aphids/blackfly)the plant finally died just after producing a few cherries. If your plants are strong & mature you might not need to treat. However a regular blast with bordeaux mix and possibly something for the aphids/blackfly might do it good. Either way if you have time keep a regular eye on themgood luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
