Hi All,
Having spent the weekend digging over the front garden I have now got a nice
bed at the end (away from the house) that I would dearly love to put a Flowing
Cherry tree in, however, the soil is (very) heavy clay and I believe that putting
a Cherry in at only about 2 to 3 meters from the house in this soil would do bad
things to the foundations, sewer pipes and possibly the road.
So, firstly can anyone confirm that putting this Cherry in would be a bad idea,
and secondly can anyone suggest a nice tallish structural shrub with nice flowers
and possibly a scent that would be more suitable but just a pleasing to the eye.
Thanks,
Will

Why not plant a magnolia tree? They have shallow roots and white flowers with scent.
