Trees

Hae ye got any pictures Woman?:WINK1::D Sounds good to me, but remember Edward Woodwards' warning in the Wicca Man:(

Dobies list a gage on semi-dwarfing stock, growing to 7-8ft. a-a

Once I figure out how to LOL

Done...

They are both granular - at least I know the Root Builder is... I believe the fish blood and bone one also is but not totally sure.I'll have a look at different options in the garden centre wither tomorrow or Tuesday depends when I can get there.Thanks for the help though.

I'd get it done ASAP. Time moves on, and I might be wrong but I've never actually seen a problem in pruning dormant hardy trees in frosty weather.Evergreens, I might make an exception if its drastic pruning.

I'm not sure how many choices you have, but I assume you looking for J.regia and a variety at that which crops early. Pomona fruits appear to have "broadview" which is supposed to be good for cropping and frost resistantJust never had the space for one but would have liked to have grown my...

Yes thats what i mean, it needs to be moved within the flowers, So should i stick a cotton bud in one flower and then put it in another? Ill try the water thing too. It will all help. thanks

This is one shrub that I always recommend:Garrya James Roof, gets to a height of 9'ft and 6'ft in width, is evergreen, tough and hardy, and gives you a cracking display of tassels during the Winter.

Oh well. just trying to help.

Hi snapshot, Have you thought about a Cotoneaster japonicus which will need time to mature and will need to be trimmed to control it. I have one and it is already up to ten foot tall, just needing it to spread out now for the screening to be completed. If not then go with the Garrya as suggested.

Hello Have a look at Elaeagnus. x ebbingei is very hardy, fast growing and can be grown in wind and shade, as can pungens maculata, which is slower growing and variegated.Viburnum Tinus can also be grown in shade.Go to Shrubsdirect and look at the hedging plants - should provide...

Mr Grinch,Not sure if this will help but here goes.Sorbus 'Autumn Spire' - Beautiful Gardens

Hi Fridgey and welcome to GC. I'll follow up Ziggy's post with these two....... Check out two threads of mine in General Garden Discussion......Leylandii Thug! on 18th August 2011 and Leylandii Gone! on 5th September 2011. I think these will tell you a lot!

Thanks Ziggy for that, the old tree is now fortyfive years old as she was 35 when I got her. John, the digger did come in very handy too. We would not have been able to get the tree into position without it. Bless the Scont tt350, she has seen better days though. Still the Oak tree is a fine...

Hi joolz68Personally I am always wary of anything tree-like that is described as 'dwarf'. If height is not an issue and the only concern you have is spread, then keep it contained by regular annual pruning and you shouldn't have a problem. Just keep in mind that a lilac is, after all, classed...

Cheers HA, Glad its not just me that finds the system obsurd. During the underpinning i found about 4 roots, the thickness of a pencil. Was that really worth spending £120,000?:DOH:

Hi Madahlia....yes they are giant oriental lily sold as tree lily , they are in them 3rd year now , but they will flower from the first year......I`ve just received T&M catologue myself and they really have some stunning lily , including the giant 12" wide lily (look like a must have)

photinia red robin evergreen, hardy and fairly cheap for large shrubs
