Keep Japanese maples healthy with one vital 5-minute task every week in August
Japanese maples are hardy trees that cope well with the dry conditions of summer - but only if they are properly cared for. An expert has urged gardeners to try out one easy five-minute task Although Japanese maples are typically robust plants that will thrive even throughout the warmer summer period, particularly once they've matured, they do face challenges during the scorching heat and parched conditions of summer. However, with a little extra love and care during hotter spells, these stunning crimson trees can stay healthy and vibrant all year round. And one five-minute trick in particular is said to do wonders. Gardening expert Michael Francis from Maple Ridge Nursery explains that irrigation is among the most important aspects to concentrate on when helping Japanese maples survive summer. It comes after calls for 90s tattoo necklaces to return as Maya Jama and Millie Bobby Brown join trend. I tried butter from Tesco, Aldi, Lidl and big brands - winner is not Lurpak Yet, the quantity of water to apply is something numerous gardeners struggle to master correctly, reports the Express. Michael stressed, "Watering is crucial for Japanese maples during summer. These trees prefer consistently moist soil but can suffer from overwatering. Water frequency can vary greatly by climate and situation." He proceeded to suggest that gardeners should aim to irrigate thoroughly up to three times weekly for recently planted specimens and "no more than once per week" for mature trees. Natural rainfall will usually provide adequate hydration for your established Japanese maples, though you'll want to ensure they receive thorough watering at least once every fortnight. Gardeners should also frequently monitor the moisture content of the soil surrounding their Japanese maple. To accomplish this, simply push your finger or a moisture gauge approximately one to two inches down into the earth. Should the soil feel parched at this level, it's time to provide water. Monitoring soil dampness prevents insufficient and excessive watering. When watering Japanese maples, it's crucial to ensure they receive a thorough soaking. The expert advised, "This means at least five minutes of watering." Giving your planted Japanese maples a deep watering will encourage the growth of deeper roots, making your tree more resistant to drought. Japanese maples in pots will need a "deep watering nearly every other day" during the sweltering summer months. For Japanese maples in containers, you should water until you see the liquid draining from the bottom of the pot. This guarantees that the entire root system is being hydrated. Avoid watering Japanese maples from above, as damp foliage can lead to fungal diseases and leaf scorch in the intense sun. Japanese maples only absorb water through their roots, so there's no advantage to watering the leaves. As the weather turns cooler in the autumn, Japanese maples will require less hydration.

How aggressive is passion flower? How to stop it spreading
Some plants, such as Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam, are so invasive that there are laws in place in England and Wales to 'limit their spread into the wild, where they can do serious damage to local ecosystems,' according to BBC Gardeners World. But although it's not an offence to grow passion flower, there is a certain variety that garden experts have said, while it's not considered so invasive that 'you don't grow them', you may want to 'think twice' about planting them. This applies especially if you have a 'small garden, or if you're after a low-maintenance planting scheme'. Poisonous Plants Found in the UK Does passion flower spread? See how aggressive it is Passiflora caerulea is the 'most commonly grown' type of passion flower in gardens, recognised for its large and unique purple and white flowers. BBC Gardeners World explains: 'There are several species of passion flower, but the most commonly grown species, Passiflora caerulea, is extremely vigorous and can become invasive. 'It spreads by long runners and throws up shoots, or suckers, several metres from the original plant.' Meanwhile, the RHS website shares it is a 'vigorous, large, evergreen climber about 10m tall, bearing rich green leaves to 10cm long, with 5-7 finger-like lobes'. It adds: 'Bowl-shaped flowers to 8cm in width, are white, with blue and purple coronal filaments, flowering from summer to autumn, then followed by ovoid orange fruits 4cm long.' Be aware, the 'fruits are edible but not particularly tasty.' How to keep passion flower from spreading? If you want to plant passion flower but are looking for ways to control it and stop it from spreading, the best way to introduce them into your garden is by growing them in containers where they 'grow well'. This is because growing these plants in pots prevents them from 'spreading uncontrollably', according to The Spruce. Recommended reading: The garden enthusiasts recommend: 'To successfully pot your passionflower, use potting soil rich in nutrients, and make sure the pot (of any material) has several large drainage holes at its base. 'Keep the soil moist, but don't allow the roots to sit in water. 'Plants grown in containers will need more regular feedings since they are watered more frequently and nutrients typically rinse out as the soil drains.'

Rutherglen soldier's World War II medals displayed for VJ Day anniversary
Jack Connor was just 22 when he was called up to serve in the Far East campaign. Cherished medals belonging to a Rutherglen war veteran were on display at the town's library to mark the 80th anniversary of VJ Day. Jack Connor served in Burma during World War II, and his prized medals including the Burma Star were showcased at the library on Main Street in his home town, along with his photos, documents and newspaper articles relating to the Far East campaign, often known as the 'Forgotten War'. He and his comrades were remembered by his daughter Dorothy, who laid a wreath at the town's cenotaph on the poignant occasion, along with displaying a peace lily beside the historic items on display at the library. Jack was called up at the age of just 22 to serve as a gunner in the 311/129th Lowland Field Regiment Royal Artillery, part of the 17th Indian Division, 14th Army – and spent most of his service on the front line fighting in savage battles at Meiktila and Tiddim to secure the safety of India and Burma from the invading Japanese forces. The soldiers endured sweltering jungle heat, disease and hostile terrain, often with little food and few supplies, as they fought a brutal enemy in the Far East campaign. He served for more than three years in the Far East, later telling Dorothy that he was never frightened as 'we had too much to do'. He served for more than three years in Burma and later told how he had marched in the victory parade in Rangoon. Thousands of soldiers continued fighting in the Far East for months after the end of the conflict in Europe; and VJ Day on August 15, 1945, the day Japan surrendered, marked the end of World War II. Dorothy said of her late father: 'When we were growing up he would often say, 'I was in the Battle of Meiktila. I marched in the victory parade in Rangoon', and read from his favourite poem Towards The East. 'When he was in his late 60s he would sometimes wake in the middle of the night thinking he was still fighting the Japanese. As well as the memories in his mind he carried the battle scars on his body, as all his comrades did. 'He met up with other Rutherglen lads but reported that a number had been killed in the first Burma campaign. They were told not to talk about their experiences and just get on with their lives, which they did.' Jack finally returned home to Rutherglen in April 1946 and returned to his work as an engineer and as a trade union shop steward at the Southern General Hospital in Glasgow. He married wife Eileen in 1948 and the couple welcomed two children, Dorothy and John. He wore his Burma Star medal at the couple's ruby wedding celebration, and asked for his medals to be brought into hospital in his last hours before he passed away in 1990 at the age of 70. The Burma star was placed on Jack's coffin at his funeral, which was conducted by Dorothy who described him as 'brave to the last'. Months after his passing, his wife and daughter laid a special local tribute on Remembrance Day at at the statue of 14th Army commander Field Marshall William Slim beside the Cenotaph in London. Dorothy said: 'My mum laid down a tiny posy of a red rose and a sprig of heather, tied with tartan ribbon, planted by my dad and grown in rich Rutherglen soil and said, 'you've not been forgotten'. She did that for all the men.' She told how, after the war, her father 'would get on his soap box at Speakers' Corner in Rutherglen Main Street and fight for workers' rights and socialism', and how the bravery and sacrifice of local soldiers have been recognised during the past decade with motions at both the Scottish and Westminster parliaments. Dorothy added of Jack: 'His entry in the book of remembrance at Linn crematorium is a simple one. It's the last line from his favourite poem – 'Tonight, with comrades who have claimed and found me, I march towards the East.'' VJ Day was marked in Lanarkshire with a ceremony led by Lord Lieutenant Lady Susan Haughey and attended by South Lanarkshire provost Margaret Cooper and North Lanarkshire counterpart Kenneth Duffy. They were joined by war veterans, local politicians, clergy and members of the public for the commemoration in Motherwell, where they observed a minute's silence and Lady Haughey laid the first wreath to honour 'the courage and sacrifice of those who fought and suffered so far from home' eight decades earlier. Provost Cooper gave the benediction, while Provost Duffy said: 'We stand here not just to remember history, but to honour real people, fathers, sons, brothers and friends who endured horrors we can scarcely imagine. 'Their courage and sacrifice happened on the other side of the world, but the impact was felt in every town, village and street here at home. Today is about gratitude and saying, in the clearest way we can, 'we haven't forgotten you.' And as long as we keep coming together like this, we never will.' * Don't miss the latest headlines from around Lanarkshire. Sign up to our newsletters here.
