Cutting back several areas of Rhododendron in this garden where it's spread too far, blocking out light etc from the ground. The hope is to restore some of the adjacent meadow and woodland natives that have been crowded out over the last few years. Some before and after pics...

Making the most of the weather to finish up summer pruning in this orchard today. One apple with some blossom!

With winter approaching it's not long before rose pruning season starts in earnest. Here's a climber we've just pruned - a Madame Alfred Carriere. This one hadn't been pruned for a couple of years and so was in a bit of a state and hadn't flowered well this year.

These photos of customers' summer and autumn flowers from the past few weeks might go some way to keeping your mind of the approaching gloom of winter!

Time to de-thatch or scarify your lawns. Here is one we did today. Next visit will be a spring feed as the temperatures and daylight hours are increasing so the grass will benefit from.a feed.

Probably the last apple and pear tree winter pruning for this year. These trees today were very crowded and had not been pruned for a few years. Today's prune has been mostly structural to tidy them up, remove inward growing and crossing branches. They'll need a summer prune to control subsequent water shoot growth. Next winter we'll continue the process of thinning some of them out. Surprisingly there was very little damage or disease apparent in any of these fruit trees.

Today's main job has been to install a new wire framework on a very old flint walled house to support a Wisteria. The old wires had failed a couple of years ago and the wisteria was just on the ground. High quality marine grade 3mm 7 stranded cable with stainless turnbuckles and vine eyes were used to ensure longevity. Wisteria given a prune and old wiring which was embedded in the stems was all removed. Although slightly late for pruning we're hopeful it will bloom this year.

This Laurel hedge planted today will eventually give a lovely dark green screen in front of the customer's fence. We prepared the soil just over a week ago and planted the Lauel today. Each one has been dipped in Root Grow and the whole lot given a deep mulch to keep moisture in and weeds out. In total we planted about 42m for the customer today.

Pollarding a willow tree is always a joy. This one has fantastic yellow stems ideal for weaving. It's pretty much the last month to pollard so this is probably the last one we will do this winter. Alas no pictures of the finished tree.

A simple raised bed design. This one was built as a starter to get a veg bed up and running with minimal effort. The beds are filled with a one third mixture of compost to two thirds top soil.

Mid winter is a great time to plant deciduous hedges. This one is about 18m long with 80 plants of which half is Hornbeam. The rest is made up of Field Maple, Crab Apple, Wayfaring Tree, Spindle, Hawthorn and Dog Rose. Best of all it is a cheaper option than the equivalent fencing - cost of this hedge was about £150 in plants plus one day's labour charge.

The quickest (and cheapest when it comes to labour) planting method was used which is to remove the turf layer and then the bare root saplings are planted in a slit which was then closed. This method works well for the shortest bare root plants; these are 40-60cm tall which establish quicker. While it matures this hedge should make a great wildlife corridor and mini shelter belt in this garden currently laid mainly to lawn.

Apple tree pruning season is in full swing. Much of our winter work involves fruit tree, rose and other shrub pruning, pollarding and coppicing. It's something we particularly enjoy here at S C Hyland Ltd. Get in contact with us via our page if you would like us to prune your fruit trees - https://www.facebook.com/StewartHylandGardening/

Here's a c200 year old apple tree that we're working on currently. Alas it's being attacked by a particularly aggressive fungus (see my post on this from July 2020). We're unable to kill the fungus so the way forward here is to save the apple tree by removing some branches to reduce the weight straining on the impacted limbs. Another approach would be to fell the tree now but this seems a pity. In time the tree will need to be felled but it would be good to get another 10 years or so out of it.
