    .....for 2017?

    I'm currently without a garden but I've earmarked this tree as my first investment when I eventually buy my next home.

    Quercus Palustris 'Green Pillar' known as the Pin Oak tree. I spotted this during last Autumn at a local Garden Centre and it's foliage was an amazing red/orange.

          @fat controller it's only a small tree growing to four metres over 20 years so you may be able to fit it in. :biggrin: If anyone's interested I suggest shopping around as some of the prices are extortionate on the internet. My local garden centre has it priced at around £30.

              A lovely tree @wiseowl and a shame you lost it.
