Sorry. You can see what happens when I have an attack of migraine! As for tree lupins, I'm quite familiar with them from my time in Cornwall. I lived in the clay district, where they were planted in vast numbers on the spoil tips, as they were the only things that would grow there. They're short-lived, need very poor soil, and my feeling is thet it's probely had it. But if you cut it back, you never know, it might work. I never had much luck growing them, but I think the problem was probably that the garden soil was too rich.
