BBC Radio 4 - Gardeners' Question Time, Tring

The GQT team returns to Tring for this week's horticultural programme.

How do I get my cypress tree to be pencil thin? I grow vegetables in pots – how can I stop cats ‘going’ in them? Have I killed my husband’s beloved banana trees? When should I cut back my salvias to get a good display in the spring and summer? 

Returning to Tring to answer these questions and more in front of a live audience are Peter Gibbs and this week’s panel: Pippa Greenwood, expert in pests and diseases, plantsman Matt Biggs, and garden designer Juliet Sargeant. 

And Dr Chris Thorogood, GQT’s intrepid plant-hunter, went to Sumatra to hunt down the Titan Arum – Amorphophallus titanum – in its natural habitat.
