All is probably not lost.
Holyhocks are prolific self seeders. Just keep the old man away from your flower beds.
Send him off to the pub, he will probably protest but stick to your guns aka rolling pin 😂😂

Ooow! Cherry plums!
We had a massive cherry plum tree when I lived in Somerset as a nipper.

Unless it's plum worm 😂😂😂

It did. This is from ten years ago actually.
It did well until it got brown rot. The desease spread to my pear tree as well, so unfortunately I had to do away with both. Too old now to start over.
