Gilgamesh, King of Uruk, and his companion Enkidu are the only heroes to have survived from the ancient literature of Babylon, immortalized in this epic poem that dates back to the 3rd millennium BC. Together they journey to the Spring of Youth, defeat the Bull of Heaven and slay the monster Humbaba. When Enkidu dies, Gilgamesh's grief and fear of death are such that they lead him to undertake a quest for eternal life. A timeless tale of morality, tragedy and pure adventure, "The Epic of Gilgamesh" is a landmark literary exploration of man's search for immortality.

Hey guys - I know everyone has been saying go TTS on all SLP's raw denim, but would you still recommend going TTS on non raw denim? Thinking of picking up this pair from last season. I'm a 30 in APC PS, but when I tried the 30 in a SLP 15.5 cut they were extremely, extremely tight. It was borderline a pain to fasten the top button. These are slim fit, 98% cotton 2% elastane.
Can anyone help a brother out, just ordered these from the ssense sale and i went with my TTS 29 which i wear for APC as well. Will this be too small? Also wondering how much does washed 15.5cm stretch after some wear in the waist? Thanks.

Not trying to be a dick but if you already ordered them, why not just wait til you get them to see if they are too small?
Didn't want to make the comment too long but I have a friend that can order a larger size for me from overseas. The store only has 1 in each size left so i don't have the luxury of time.

Does anyone know if these jeans are the same?
They are the same price, and both 98% cotton 2% elastane, BUT luisa says they are made in italy whereas ysl.com says they are made in japan?
LVR also has the "same" MIJ http://www.luisaviaroma.com/index.aspx?#ItemSrv.ashx%7CSeasonId=58I&CollectionId=25Z&ItemId=27&VendorColorId=MTAwMA==&SeasonMemoCode=actual&GenderMemoCode=men&CategoryId=&SubLineMemoCode=
I don't know if anything is mislabeld at LVR. Maybe the new one is MIJ and the old is MII? No idea
Thanks for the info lillith but I sent them back, they were just TOO tight. I guess one size up will look good too.
Also, I think taking the same size in SL as in APC will not be very satisfying. I take a 29 in APC and tried a 30 in SL and see my pic for how tight it still is. I'd say +2 from your APC size.
Just wanted to chime in and say that I've been wearing my SLP 19cm black raws for about 4-5 times a week since about february of last year and they still look practically new, with some really nice solid creases and whiskers. I gained a little bit of weight but they don't feel like they've stretched too much. The only stretching i've noticed is in the kneecaps and its minimal. By comparison, my APC PS black raws stretched out about 2 or 3 sizes in about a third of the time i've worn the SLP's. I still haven't washed them yet as I think they have a lot of breaking in left (yes even after almost a year, although I did get them tailored at the SLP store and didn't wear them for about a month). Also to compare, diors took much less time to break in and felt pretty comfy after a while. SLP's are still super tight. the denim is really unforgiving which is on one hand great if you want to keep the form and fit, but not really that comfortable. I'm starting a new pair this week that i sized up on and won't tailor so I can keep a looser fit.

All the washed jeans I have tried fit on the slimmer side.
To the person asking above about the washed jeans from ssense, they are going to fit slim! But it's going to be based on what you view as slim.
Does anyone know if these jeans are the same?
They are the same price, and both 98% cotton 2% elastane, BUT luisa says they are made in italy whereas ysl.com says they are made in japan?
They are the same jeans. The country of production was changed for SS14.

You could try contacted Saint Laurent, but pre-orders never come in on time. I had to wait a few extra months for my FW 15.5cms last year. My advice: be patient and go with the flow.
ok, thanks for the info :) I just think it's funny how luisa has had one of the products available for a while now but not ysl.com.
And btw, how come some of the Saint Laurent products I can find on different sites never come on the ysl.com site?
Is it possible that the boutiques have products for the new season that are never available online?

Different stores have different buyers, thus the selection varies from place to place. SLP boutiques in NY may buy for the NY client, LA for LA etc. Many times their wholesale clients like Mr Porter etc will buy completely differently from the collection, and sometimes get exclusives. Keeping deadlines with wholesale clients often times means that the flagship boutiques get things way later than other places. I think the SLP e-commerce site is all run by Yoox.
It can get confusing when looking for a certain piece/size, especially when one merchant puts things on sale that others don't.

Not sure where you're getting this info but it's completely incorrect.
YSL E commerce in USA is really only run by one person and she handles every order individually which is why it takes a while to process.
There are no buyers at the boutiques, they receive items based on what the house wants to represent. Yes the styles are based on region and location, which is why SLP LA will have more casual goods than NY, but it's all based on what the house sends them. There are managers there but they don't do any of the buys. Most of the people at SLP boutiques are about as in the know as you and I.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Franchising Franchising A typical Mcdonalds franchise. Franchising refers to the methods of practicing and using another person's business philosophy. The franchisor grants the independent operator the right to distribute its products, techniques, and trademarks for a percentage of gross monthly sales and a royalty fee. Various tangibles and intangibles such as national or international advertising, training, and other support services are commonly made available by the franchisor. Agreements typically last from five to thirty years, with premature cancellations or terminations of most contracts bearing serious consequences for franchisees. Franchising has been around for many centuries but didn't come to prominence until 1930's, the establishments of electricity, vehicles, and the Interstate highway helped propel modern franchising, most nobility franchise-based food service establishments. According to the Small Business Administration approximately 10% of all businesses are franchises.[1] requires disclosure of terms that cover termination of the franchise agreement and the terms substantiate this statement) History Franchising dates back to at least the 1850s; Isaac Singer, who made improvements to an existing model of a sewing machine, wanted to increase the distribution of his sewing machines. His effort, though unsuccessful in the long run, was among the first franchising efforts in the United States. A later example of franchising was John S. Pemberton's successful franchising of Coca-Cola.[2] Early American examples include the telegraph system, which was operated by various railroad companies but controlled by Western Union[3], and exclusive agreements between automobile manufacturers and operators of local dealerships.[4] Earlier models of product franchising collected royalties or fees on a product basis and not on the gross sales of the business operations of the franchisees. Modern franchising came to prominence with the rise of franchise-based food service establishments. This trend started before 1933 with quick service restaurants such as A&W Root Beer.[5] In 1935, Howard Deering Johnson teamed up with Reginald Sprague to establish the first modern restaurant franchise. [6] [7] The idea was to let independent operators use the same name, food, supplies, logo and even building design in exchange for a fee. The growth in franchises picked up steam in the 1930s when such chains as Howard Johnson's started franchising motels.[8] The 1950s saw a boom of franchise chains in conjunction with the development of the U.S. interstate highway system.[9] Fast food restaurants, diners and motel chains exploded. In regard to contemporary franchise chains, McDonald's is unarguably the most successful worldwide with more restaurant units than any other franchise network. According to Franchising in the Economy, 1991-1993, a study done by the University of Louisville, franchising helped to lead America out of its economic downturn at the Overview The term "franchise" is used to describe business systems which may or may not fall into the legal definition provided above. For example, a vending machine operator may receive a franchise for a particular kind of vending machine, including a trademark and a royalty, but no method of doing business. This is called "product franchising" or "trade name franchising". Cancellations or terminations of franchise agreements before the completion of the contract have serious consequences for franchisees. Franchise agreement terms typically result in a loss of the sunk costs of the firstowner franchisees who build out the branded physical units and who lease the branded name, marks, and business plan from the franchisors if the franchise is canceled or terminated for any reason before the expiration of the entire term of the contract. (Item 15 of the Rule of the Federal Trade Commission 1 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia time.[10]Franchising is a unique business model that has encouraged the growth of franchised chain formula units because the franchisors collect royalties on the gross sales of these units and not on the profits. Conversely, when good jobs are lost in the economy, franchising picks up because potential franchisees are looking to buy jobs and to earn profits from the purchase of franchise rights. The manager of the United States Small Business Administration's Franchise Registry concludes that franchising there is continuing to grow and that franchising is growing in the national economy. [11] Franchising is a business model used in more than 70 industries and that generates more than $1 trillion in U.S. sales annually.[12] Franchising Legal considerations The franchisor is relieved of many of the mundane duties necessary to start a new outlet, such as obtaining the necessary licenses and permits. In some jurisdictions, certain permits (especially alcohol licenses) are more easily obtained by locally based, owner-operator type applicants while companies based outside the jurisdiction (and especially if they originate in another country) find it difficult if not impossible to get such licences issued to them directly. For this reason, hotel and restaurant chains that sell alcohol often have no viable option but to franchise if they wish to expand to another state or province. Operational considerations Franchisees are said to have a greater incentive than direct employees to operate their businesses successfully because they have a direct stake in the operation. The need of franchisors to closely scrutinize the day to day operations of franchisees (compared to directly-owned outlets) is greatly reduced. Businesses for which franchising works best Businesses for which franchising is said to work best have the following characteristics: • Businesses with a good track record of profitability. • Businesses built around a unique or unusual concept. • Businesses with broad geographic appeal. • Businesses which are relatively easy to operate. • Businesses which are relatively inexpensive to operate. • Businesses which are easily duplicated[13]. For franchisees Employment Opening a franchise is a way of "buying a job"[14][15][16]. Quick start As practiced in retailing, franchising offers franchisees the advantage of starting up a new business quickly based on a proven trademark and formula of doing business, as opposed to having to build a new business and brand from scratch (often in the face of aggressive competition from franchise operators). A well run franchise would offer a turnkey business: from site selection to lease negotiation, training, mentoring and ongoing support as well as statutory requirements and troubleshooting. Advantages For franchisors Expansion Franchising is one of the only means available to access investment capital without the need to give up control in the process. After their brand and formula are carefully designed and properly executed, franchisors are able to expand rapidly across countries and continents using the capital and resources of their franchisees, and can earn profits commensurate with their contribution to those societies. Additionally, the franchisor may choose to leverage the franchisee to build a distribution network. Expansion With the help of the expertise provided by the franchisors, the franchisees are able to take their franchise business to that level which they wouldn't have been able to without the expert guidance of their franchisors. 2 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Franchising Advocacy of the SBA indicates that a franchisee "is merely a temporary business investment where he may be one of several investors during the lifetime of the franchise. In other words, he is "renting or leasing" the opportunity, not "buying a business for the purpose of true ownership." [17] Additionally, "A franchise purchase consists of both intrinsic value and time value. A franchise is a wasting asset due to the finite term: the franchisor is only obliged to renew the franchise if it chooses to contract for that obligation." [18] Training Franchisors often offer franchisees significant training, which is not available for free to individuals starting their own business. Although training is not free for franchisees, it is both supported through the traditional franchise fee that the franchisor collects and tailored to the business that is being started. Disadvantages For franchisors Limited pool of viable franchisees In any city or region there will be only a limited pool of people who have both the resources and the desire to set up a franchise in a certain industry, compared to the pool of individuals who would be able to competently manage a directly-owned business Price Starting and operating a franchise business carries expenses. In choosing to adopt the standards set by the franchisor, the franchisee often has no further choice as to signage, shop fitting, uniforms etc. The franchisee may not be allowed to source less expensive alternatives. Added to that is the franchise fee and ongoing royalties and advertising contributions. The contract may also bind the franchisee to such alterations as demanded by the franchisor from time to time. (As required to be disclosed in the state disclosure document and the franchise agreement under the FTC Franchise Rule) Control Successful franchising necessitates a much more careful vetting process when evaluating the limited number of potential franchisees than would be required to hire a direct employee. An incompetent manager of a directly-owned outlet can easily be replaced, while regardless of the local laws and agreements in place removing an incompetent franchisee is much more difficult. Incompetent franchisees can easily damage the public's goodwill towards the franchisor's brand by providing inferior goods and services. If a franchisee is cited for legal violations, (s)he will probably face the legal consequences alone but the franchisor's reputation could still be damaged. Conflicts The franchisor/franchisee relationship can easily cause conflict if either side is incompetent (or acting in bad faith). An incompetent franchisor can destroy its franchisees by failing to promote the brand properly or by squeezing them too aggressively for profits. Franchise agreements are unilateral contracts or contracts of adhesion wherein the contract terms generally are advantageous to the franchisor when there is conflict in the relationship. [19] Additionally, the legal publishing website Nolo.com listed the "Lack of Legal Recourse" as one of Ten Good Reasons Not to Buy a Franchise: " As a franchisee, you have little legal " recourse if you're wronged by the franchisor. Most franchisors make franchisees sign agreements waiving their rights under federal and state law, and in some cases allowing the franchisor to choose where and under what law any dispute would be litigated. Shamefully, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigates For franchisees No guarantee Often, there is no guarantee of financial success for the franchisee. Some businesses do fail, including franchised outlets. Control For franchisees, the main disadvantage of franchising is a loss of control. While they gain the use of a system, trademarks, assistance, training, marketing, the franchisee is required to follow the system and get approval for changes from the franchisor. For these reasons, franchisees and entrepreneurs are very different. The United States Office of 3 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia only a small minority of the franchise-related complaints it receives.[20] Franchising franchisor that formalizes and specifies the terms of the business arrangement. It also details many issues discussed in less depth in the UFOC. Unlike the UFOC, the franchise agreement is a fluid document, crafted to meet the specific needs of the franchise, with each having its own set of standards and requirements. But much like a lease, there are elements commonly found in every agreement.[23] "There is a difference between a discrete contract and a relational contract, and franchise contracts are a distinct subset of relational contracts." Franchise contracts form a unique and ongoing relationship between the parties. "Unlike a traditional contract, franchise contracts establish a relationship where the stronger party can unilaterally alter the fundamental nature of the obligations of the weaker party......." [24] Because the franchise agreement is a complex legal document that obligates both the franchisor and the franchisee to perform a variety of duties, each party generally consults extensively with an attorney before entering into a franchise agreement. There is no federal registry of franchises or any federal filing requirements for information. States are the primary collectors of data on franchising companies, and enforce laws and regulations regarding their presence and their spread in their jurisdictions. In response to the soaring popularity of franchising, an increasing number of communities are taking steps to limit these chain businesses and reduce displacement of independent businesses through limits on "formula businesses."[25] The majority of franchisors have inserted mandatory arbitration clauses into their agreements with their franchisees. Since 1980, the U.S. Supreme Court has dealt with cases involving direct franchisor/franchisee conflicts at least four times, and three of those cases involved a franchisee who was resisting the franchisor's motion to compel arbitration. Two of the latter cases involved large, well-known restaurant chains (Burger King in Burger King v. Rudzewicz and Subway in 517 US 681 (1996) Doctor's Associates, Inc. v. Casarotto); the third involved Southland Corporation, the parent company of 7-Eleven in Southland Corp. v. Keating, 465 US 1 (1984) . Legal aspects Australia In Australia, franchising is regulated by the Franchising Code of Conduct, a mandatory code of conduct made under the Trade Practices Act 1974. The Code requires franchisors to produce a disclosure document which must be given to a prospective franchisee at least 14 days before the franchise agreement is entered into. The Code also regulates the content of franchise agreements, for example in relation to marketing funds, a cooling-off period, termination and the resolution of disputes by mediation. The federal government is currently considering recommended changes to the Code of Conduct contained in the report, 'Opportunity not Opportunism: Improving conduct in Australian Franchising' tabled by a Parliamentary inquiry into franchising on 4 December, 2008.[21] Some experts have warned that any push to increase regulation of the franchising sector, could make it a less attractive means of doing business. [22] United States In the United States, franchising falls under the jurisdiction of a number of state and federal laws. Franchisors are required by the Federal Trade Commission to provide a Uniform Franchise Offering Circular (UFOC) to disclose essential information to potential franchisees about their purchase. States may require the UFOC to contain specific requirements but the requirements in the State disclosure documents must be in compliance with the Federal Rule that governs federal regulatory policy.[23] There is no private right of action under the FTC Rule for franchisor violation of the rule but fifteen or more of the States have passed statutes that provide a private right of action to franchisees when fraud can be proved under these special statutes. The franchise agreement is the essential contract signed by the franchisee and the 4 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Franchising provided in paragraph 2.4.1 of the state program for small business development and support for the 1999–2000. Key provisions of Chapter 45, as well as the rules governing the franchise in more detail relations, entered the law "About integrated business license (franchise)", dated 24 June 2002, No. 330 - II. It should be noted that amongst the Commonwealth of Independent States, Kazakhstan is one of the first countries to introduce the legal definition of franchising in a special law. Kazakhstan serves as a gateway for entering the markets of Central Asia for foreign franchises. Average estimate of Kazakhstan franchising business market is about 0,5 billion US$ annually [28]. Russia In Russia, under chapter 54 of the Civil Code (passed 1996), franchise agreements are invalid unless written and registered, and franchisors cannot set standards or limits on the prices of the franchisee's goods. Enforcement of laws and resolution of contractual disputes is a problem: Dunkin' Donuts chose to terminate its contract with Russian franchisees that were selling vodka and meat patties contrary to their contracts, rather than pursue legal remedies.[26] UK In the United Kingdom, there are no franchise-specific laws; franchises are subject to the same laws that govern other businesses. For example, franchise agreements are produced under regular contract law and do not have to conform to any further legislation or guidelines. There is some self-regulation through the British Franchise Association (BFA). However there are many franchise businesses which do not become members, and many businesses that refer to themselves as franchisors that do not conform to these rules. There are several people and organisations in the industry calling for the creation of a framework to help reduce the number of "cowboy" franchises and help the industry clean up its image. On 22 May 2007, hearings were held in the UK Parliament concerning citizen initiated petitions for special regulation of franchising by the government of the UK due to losses of citizens who had invested in franchises. The Minister of Industry, Margaret Hodge, conducted hearings but resisted any government regulation of franchising with the advice that government regulation of franchising might lull the public into a false sense of security. The Minister of Industry indicated that if due diligence were performed by the investors and the banks, the current laws governing business contracts in the UK offered sufficient protection for the public and the banks.[27] Social franchises In recent years, the idea of franchising has been picked up by the social enterprise sector, which hopes to simplify and expedite the process of setting up new businesses. A number of business ideas, such as soap making, wholefood retailing, aquarium maintenance, and hotel operation, have been identified as suitable for adoption by social firms employing disabled and disadvantaged people. The most successful example is probably the CAP Markets, a steadily growing chain of some 50 neighborhood supermarkets in Germany. Other examples are the St. Mary's Place Hotel in Edinburgh and the Hotel Tritone in Trieste. Event franchising Event franchising is the duplication of public events in other geographical areas, while retaining the original brand (logo), mission, concept and format of the event.[29] As in classic franchising, event franchising is built on precisely copying successful events. Good example of event franchising is the World Economic Forum, or just Davos forum which has regional event franchisees in China, Latin America etc. Likewise, the alter-globalist World Social Forum has launched many national events. Kazakhstan Until 2002, franchising rules in Kazakhstan were also governed by Chapter 45 of the Kazakh Civil Code (CC). Measures of state support franchising generally been included in the programme of support for business.

Realty firm Godrej Properties Ltd today said it plans to raise up to Rs. 500 crore through an initial public offer to fund projects and retire part of its debt.
The IPO will hit the capital market on December 9. The company, having presence in ten cities across the country with about 25 projects in hand, will enter the market with an issue size of 94.29 lakh equity shares, constituting 13.5 per cent of the post issue paid-up capital of the firm.
It has fixed a price band of Rs. 490-530 per equity share.
At the upper end of the band, the company would raise Rs. 499.8 crore.
Last year, the company had planned to come out with the IPO but shelved it due to volatile market conditions in the wake of the global slowdown.
"Last year, we had filed draft red herring prospectus (DRHP), but did not file RHP due to bad market condition. This year, we are certainly going ahead and the issue will open on December 9. We have received good response from investors," company's executive Director Pirojsha Godrej told reporters.
The company plans to sell up to 18 per cent of shares worth about Rs. 90 crore to anchor investors, he said.
Of the total proceeds from the IPO, the company intends to utilise Rs. 203 crore to acquire land development rights for three projects, while Rs. 75 crore would go towards meeting the construction cost of a commercial project in Chandigarh.
The company would use Rs. 172 crore to repay part of its Rs. 800 crore debt, Godrej said.

Squier Vintage Modified Telecaster Special - White BlondeStock code: 94704
Rollover image to zoom in View large Image
Out of Stock
- Telecaster body with a classic white blonde
- Duncan Designed JM-101N Jazzmaster neck pickup
- Duncan Designed TE-101B Telecaster bridge pickup
- Jazzmaster maple tint gloss neck
- Brass barrel bridge saddles
The Squier Vintage Modified Telecaster Special is as unique as the name suggests. Built on the solid foundation of the instantly recognisable Telecaster body, this hot-rodded, modded Tele' has basically been crossed with a Jaguar to create a super-model.
The body is crafted from basswood, making the body lightweight but tonally robust. The vintage-style string-through-body bridge is very distinctive with three brass barrel saddles, which performs the task of upholding intonation meticulously, and makes adjustment very easy. The slick single-ply black pickguard adds a touch of class, whilst aiding in the protection of the white blonde body finish.
Fitted to the body is a supple maple neck, which is shaped to the very comfortable "C"-shape profile. Married to the neck is a maple fingerboard, which is home to 21 medium-jumbo frets. The 9.5" fingerboard radius makes executing smooth string bends a breeze, whilst the slender neck profile means you can race along at speed with minimal effort, guided along by the splendid black dot position inlays.
The body has equipped with a Duncan Designed JM-101N single-coil Jazzmaster neck pickup. The bridge pickup is a Duncan Designed TE-101B single-coil bridge pickup, which is a premium Tele pickup that ensures this modified guitar doesn't loose it's roots. The three-way switch, knurled Tele volume and tone knobs (with a classic chrome under-plate) give the Squier Vintage Modified Telecaster Special an authentic vintage Tele look.
Many elements of the Squier Vintage Modified Tele Special are changed, and indeed many are also premium upgrades, so this guitar looks distinctive, sounds great and at it's core is the classic, timeless sound of a Telecaster. This is a versatile, working musicians guitar and it offers amazing value, given the excellent build quality and modified components.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
If statues must honour, McClung should be there
How far must we stumble down the path of political correctness before we realize that it leads us to a madhouse?
Last fall we had so-called human rights advocates demanding that Stuart Murray, former leader of the Manitoba Conservatives, be denied chairmanship of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights because he once voted against gay partners being entitled to adopt children. Ironically, the people making the demand were proponents of the principle that people should not be discriminated against because of their political opinions.
Now we have David Matas, described as a civil rights lawyer, coming out against the erection of a statue honouring Nellie McClung, the celebrated suffragette, because she once favoured compulsory sterilization of the feeble-minded. I expect I will be pilloried for using that term but I do so in the interests of accuracy because it was the term used at the time.
The name Nellie McClung is one which most of us have heard with reverence attached to it for most of our lives. She was an indefatigable champion of women's rights, and instrumental in securing the vote for women in Manitoba.
When she was an Alberta MLA she also supported a law which would require certain people, considered mentally defective, to submit to sterilization so that they would not procreate and bring other mental defectives into the world. This concept is today almost universally frowned upon. But it certainly was not when McClung supported it.
Nellie was in illustrious company: Winston Churchill and George Bernard Shaw both supported some form of sterilization. Shaw, by the way, was also against inoculation to prevent disease. The distinguished American jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes is quoted in a judgment approving compulsory sterilization "... Three generation of imbeciles are enough."
Are we now to destroy all of the visible memorials which have been erected to honour the memory of Churchill? Are we to encourage a boycott of the plays written by Shaw? Where does this logic lead?
When McClung favoured the practice, although controversial it was a feature of the mainstream thinking in many parts of the world. In 1924, 21 states in the U.S. had laws permitting involuntary sterilization. Alberta and British Columbia had such statutes. Other countries in the world had similar laws which preceded Hitler.
It is just not right to identify supporters of sterilization with the Nazi regime. Certainly Hitler used such laws in a way that deserves the opprobrium which is rightly heaped upon him. But Hitler's crimes are more identified with his extermination of living human beings rather than the steps which were taken to prevent creation of new ones.
I am not very partial to the erection of statues honouring human beings. I suppose it stems from some subliminal observance of the fourth of the Ten Commandments which enjoins the making of images.
But if we are going to have statues, Nellie McClung is certainly an acceptable candidate.

Under health reform, U.S. spending on health care will increase 6.3% annually over the next 10 years, compared with a 6.1% projected annual increase when the law was not yet passed, according to a CMS survey. The report found that reduced payments on Medicare services and doctor visits will lower spending, while coverage of Medicare patients' drugs and the increase in the number of people with insurance coverage will boost spending.

quince tree/leaves looking bad
I planted a quince tree this spring, it seemed to do great initially. It even had 4 fruits on it, but it had a really rough time during the summer. It is in full sun, and I probably should have painted it. Also the cats used it as a scratching post. I wrapped he main trunk a couple of months ago and I hope I didn't do it too late.
I'll admit haven't always watered it often enough, but lately I started watering it at least weekly or twice a week, and it still doesn't seem to make a difference. It's not totally dead, but it's just sitting there not doing anything. And by watering I mean, fill the basin around it with water and let it go down.
Is this a sunburn? or nutrient/water/salt problem?
what should I do?
First, check how deep it was planted. The topmost roots shouldn't be more than 1/2" underground. If it's too deep, gently take the excess dirt away from the trunk, out as far as the edge of the watering well, use a good root stimulator, and pray.
Second, give it 4"-6" of water once every 10 days, with the weather we have been having. Water less often as the weather cools. Water more deeply (6"-8") starting in February, and keep it at once every 2 weeks through the summer. Widen the watering basin as the tree grows.
As far as trunk wrapping and watering is concerned, late is better than never, but don't expect very much new growth this time of year. Good effects probably won't show up until spring. Good luck! : )
The symptoms you see on the leaves are classical salt burn. Quince trees like acidic soil (less than pH 7) and our soils here typically have a pH of around 8 which is considered alkaline. In addition, our water is salty so plants that like acidic soils will often struggle here.
You may be able to reduce the pH a bit in the small area around your tree by adding soluble soil sulfur (Dispersul is one product) and adding a 4 inch layer of compost on top of the soil in the basin around your tree. Or you can
add 1 tablespoon plain white vinegar to each gallon of water you apply as well as using the mulch. As the mulch decomposes it releases nutrients into the soil and lowers the pH just a bit.
Watering deeply will push any accumulated salts down below most of the feeder roots.
To prevent the cat from using the trunk as a scratching post, wrap it with a cylinder of wire about 2-3 feet tall a few inches away from the trunk. You can still use your tree wrap for the trunk, but make sure it isn't too tight
I hope this helps.
