Robinia Frisia
A few people on here were reporting problems with their robinia frisias earlier this year & I wondered how you went on, did they recover? Is it now happening to others too?
I'm absolutely gutted to see my tree has developed some brown spots & curling mainly on it's lower branches & more on the side that gets the east wind. Seems that, according to
this information I've found (in particular see 11th post) it's a problem made caused/worse by this awful weather we've had last yr & this (up to now).

I was conned when I bought my Robinia. Asked for the one that turns yellow and was sold the one that flowers. Mine was very late developing foliage this year, but I've just been to inspect it and there is no sign of brown spots or curling. In fact there is a lot of new growth.
My sympathy is with you and I hope it's a passing phase.

Hi Sir Alec...yes it seems to be the golden ones (frisias) that are affected. I have to say that she (sorry I always refer to my robinia as a she, hehe) has flowered two or three times in her lifetime. Obviously the flowers, being white, aren't easy to spot, but smell lovely.
Maybe she'll survive, she's been a tough old boot up to now & survived blowing over in gales a few years after planting. I hauled her back up tied her down with rope & hoped for the best. And last year I had to have a big pruning job done when a large branch split, again in gales, & she grew back better than ever. I'll give her a good talking to. Fingers crossed!

Morning all. Another nice day is on the way methinks. Thankyou Dolly for the complement. I was in my 30's then. Good to see you back with the Bids.
Off out for lunch again today only for a short time as the friend I'm meeting has to go back to work this afternoon.
Have a good day everybody whatever you are doing.

Nice reservation you have here Robinia .I see Big Chief Woolly Bear has made himself at home .I hope you're well stocked with Woman's Weeklies in case he starts any of that wampum waving
Nice day here so far but the outlook is not good .Typical Bank Holiday.
Lovely to see you Dolly .Pleased to hear Mr. D is doing well .Sorry you've been a bit crook yourself .I hope you soon feel better .
Was going to town today but it's been called off so I suppose I'd better mooch to the High St and buy some more washing powder :)
How for now

good day campers...
Some people around here need heap big thwacking, just look at the state of me now, all singed I is...
http://images.wildmad...stick_mantid_0017.gif
I do actually feel like I've been on a bonfire & me embers crushed to dust, haha. Warm but cloudy, funny atmosphere...if we get a storm don't expect to take cover in big brick house, just make sure you're pegged down tight.
Chas has been clipped at last, he's half the man he was, & is sleeping it off. You can have his fur to stuff your matresses, haha.
So sorry woofy, my puta had a funny fit...first mail didn't go & then it sent Vin's to his old address even tho I'd deleted it. :o/

Maybe woofy's just busy making the most of the dry weather neti, it's all downhill from tonight. Better start doing a sun dance but if this is shaney's idea of a totem pole I don't think there's much hope...

I feel most peculiar today, maybe it's the full moon

Now look here ,my totem poles are famed throughout Norfolk .They're the only things round this neck of the woods that are lit up at night :)
I must be the only person on the road with a light on in the small hours sometimes .
I need to see to scribble on my crossword book .
What a funny day ,all bright and summery this morning and then it degenerated into muggy and cloudy,don't know what to wear,there's a fog coming over,shall I put a jacket on weather .
We had Quiche and Greek salad for dinner .I made it myself .I made it to Morrisons ,bought it and made it back again :)
