NEW Gardeners !

with the folliage being dark the flowers should be the same , new variety to me

I was going on the basis that they were declared to be a garden plant.Malva leafMalva buds

Just a thought Paul. Do you really want to plant five trees that close together? You have to think about their overall mature height and spread as well as root cramping.

I go with Campsis for the above pic No1. I thought one of the earlier ones with the heart shaped leaves might be Aristolochia.

Right. Get your bulldozer crew to dig eight feet around it and ten feet down. Then get your helicopters to gently lift it to the new home. Have an even larger crater waiting for it which you have nourished for three years with compost, leaf mold etc. Lower the tree in. Bulldozer team may have...

Yes, Honeysuckle does very well here.

Not really climb up it, it's not a strong fence so I'm thinking more shrub type of action!

Good post.Anything that provides a protective top layer could be described as a mulch.Nobody has mentioned cardboard as a mulch - this can be a good, quick means of stopping or slowing weed growth and can be topped up with more cardboard when it starts to biodegrade.The allotment...

Fantastic, thank you so much for your help!

Apart from the first week or so, to keep it alive!, I disagree with frequent watering. I think that regular watering makes the plant dependent on that supply of water, and encourages roots at the surface (where the water is provided) rather than growing roots downwards - where there will always...

This thread will explain things - if you can plough through all 18 pages. In the last few pages you'll also see pictures of some of the members.
