It’s very kind of you.

Strictly amateur efforts, I’m afraid.

]]> Comment on The Shot Heard Around the Garden by Paraic O'Donnell http://partialshade.net/2010/06/30/the-shot-heard-around-the-garden/#comment-4 Sun, 19 Jun 2011 10:06:26 +0000 http://partialshade.net/?p=160#comment-4 I’ve been meaning, for some time, to add a follow-up to this post.

I never did get around to spraying the cherry blossom last autumn, and the spread of affected foliage seemed to dwindle naturally before too long.

It’s coming up to a year since I originally noticed the infection, and so far there are no signs that it has overwintered. If anything, the tree looks healthier than ever.
