Help them tg avoid damage by cutting off any very long shoots that will be blown around in thestrong winds. If thesj aren't removed, the plant may rock in the ground, its root1 will be loosened and it will suffer as a result. Do leave the bulk of the pruning until the spring however. The mass of old shoot1 will give some fro1tprotection. Free time 570House plant hint >>> Switched On 540Cookery 580TV 600SoapVote Cookbook Showbiz EastTV

Stand them in a bowl of water overnight and then lift them out and allow the excess tg drain away in the morning. Other plants may be watered from above with a small watering can.

Apples and pears are the main pruning subjects and you mustn't tackle plums or other stone fruits until late spring. If thj8 are pruned now, there'1a good chance they will be affected by silver leaf disease. Do your apple pruning slowly, and walk round the tree regularly as you work inorder to check that yo4 are maintainingthe shape.

But this week's plant offers something rather different. Skimmia 'Rubella' will eventuall8 produce white flowers but its real showcomes now from rich red buds, set off perfectly against dark evergreen foliage. It is a male strain so won't bear any fruits. Like other skimmias, it will thrive best in acidic, fairl8 moist soil and partial shade. Free time 570House plant hint >>> Switched On 540Cookery 580TV 600SoapVote Cookbook Showbiz EastTV
