Nope Surfer, I can't help you there.. I haven't copied it from any site.. I was sent that info when I had my tree given to me.... Oh & yes I do know about copyright laws..... I followed that advice & had no problems.. So if you found that information somewhere as I see you did then I apologise...

Fennel indeed. I love it. Tomato & fennel sandwiches (that is the feathery leaves of the fennel.) yum yum.. a sprinkling of black pepper. Gosh ! now I am hungry :-) I have been trying to grow it and cannot get it to take yet I had it in my previous garden. will have to have another go. Talking...

I have a young P cerasifera 'Pissardi' which bore very little fruit this year ... and the birds ate that! :( It is truly a lovely tree.

I find it is best to pull it out when it is still a young plant. You might need to dig round it and get it out by the roots. Two things that seem to grow with great ease are bramble and cherry. How come that when I plant a cherry stone, it just sits in the pot yet when the birds do the...

They look like Cherry Plums to me Clematis. As for pruning, can we have some pics of the whole tree before we offer advice.:gnthb:

I gave up growing Acanthus because of the fact that it spread it's seeds far and wide and it was the devil's own job to dig up unwanted plants with such long roots. Agree with the comments about the wonderful appearance in the border - such a stately plant......

Ok Surfer what is a Tiger Tree.. Googled it but no luck... You have me intrigued now... :D

Thanks Axl.

I agree, it`s Loosestrife.:gnthb:

Not my pic - taken from a search on google images...as you will see by the accreditation in the top left hand corner of the picture. It was only being used as an example - and yes, Rosemary blooms in Spring...

It was the original "tree" before our flowering trees evolved. The coal measures are made out of it.

I stand corrected:wink:

They grow incredibly easy from seed - and the seed pods are very easy to spot on the plant as the flowers die.

but be careful, they self seed all over the garden and can become a pest.Pete

Sorted the bush out today. Got some of the hedging plants to grow inits place to cover the gap in the trees.

almost certainly sweetpeas on the trellis and Rudbeckier in the foreground. not sure about the rest. a briliant project. good luck with it.Pete

It is ok in 40+c as long as it is watered frequently and not allowed to dry out at least not in summer. It would be better of in the ground as it will need repotting later and will gradually become top heavy.

:thumb:arrr thank you, looks really nice

It looks like a wild Salvia ... but not sure of that at all ..... or is it one of the pea family .... Need a better photo, sorry.

Thanks for that sorry for the delay in thanking you
