Trees

It sort of looks normal to me also. The lower buds also have a white covering.

aw, trees are great when you are a kid for climbing and swining on... what a shame

looks like insects to me

i think you could still get the tree officer to have a look if your concerned. Im sure if you tell them your worried and that fnding who own the land is proving difficult. He may put your mind at ease, tell you why the other fell and explain why the other may be perfectly safe. If the news is...

I would think that the wood may be worth something as there are not that many that are felled because of where thay are, Churchyards, and their age - they can live hundreds of years and have protection orders, and that they are poisonous so are not widely planted and rarely seen on...

This is what I was thinking also.

Spazzer.. Tree Peonys are beautiful.. As lolli says Welcome to the club & what have you got.. I have this place in my bookmarks for their care etc...

I too thought Poplars ... but also Birches .... a picture would be useful ...

I think I would use Yew, its a good evergreen, grows reasonably fast but is easy to clip and control.Leylandii is far too fast and large.Another idea, Box, yes I know its usually seen as a tiny scrawny hedge, but if allowed to grow properly its as good if not better than many other hedging...

Thanks for the advice everyone.I braved the snow yesterday and planted it. the ground was frozen solid for the first 2 inches or so. So i went down nice and deep and added some erecacious compost and a sprinkle of bonemeal.I also got 3 Silver Birch and 3 Bird Cherry trees delivered...

small balls .. admit we are all losing it .... why do you think I didn't answer this .... :hehe:

Take a look here

Thank you very much for your info. Plenty for us to consider. Maybe I will leave the tree in for one more year to see what if any fruit it gives us. I'll keep you up dated as things progress. Will probably start a new thread in the general forum when we get started properly. Thanks again...

How long ago did you lift it?Its not going to do much root wise for the next 5months, so if its still sitting in a puddle it will die.Can you pot it up? And keep it dry over winter.

Thanks for the advice. I'll be moving within a couple of months so I can't really put it off for a year unfortunately. I never planted it in our back garden; it found its own way there. :hehe: It is a very small garden and it is quite close to the house. The next tennants would surely...

Thanks folks, I have 40 Oak trees planted along my boundary and a dozen conker trees, all have nice firm buds and seem to have settled in. They will have their own private shelters soon. Will be collecting more from my Dad in Yorkshire at Xmas, ( a real gardener ) he has started all sorts of...

Great post ,just to be made in use..

Thanks for the info will let you know outcome.Happymunday's,

I agree with MF, bays are tough and can be reshaped. However, it won't like the removal of its lower branches and may take a whole season to recover its growth pattern.The standard shape (i.e. a neat lollipop) that we tend to associate with bay trees in pots is not their natural shape when...

Sounds like a good initiative. 263,669 trees pledged so far. Not bad.I hope they get their record. Personally I'd like to see the whole of the North Yorkshire moors reforested, but the rich folk that like to shoot the grouse, oh I mean the conservationists wouldn't like that.
