Thank you for your response.
In answer;
by keeping a tree in a pot I can have it
safely sited much closer to my bungalow. When I pop
my clogs, the next owner will not be bothered by
having to move a tree as a first duty to his or her
beautiful garden. ( Not being morbid, just practical :-)
Secondly, it's a project I've never got round to
carry out. Also it's a challenge.
Cheers.
John
===========================================
I know I said I was`nt going to do a list but heres what I have in 5
gallon pots at the moment.
Prunus Mume - Flowering Apricot (has never flowered yet)
Silver Birch - was given a harsh trunk chop last winter and has since
gone berserk!!!!!
Two purple leaved beech
two Hornbeams
one english oak
one Acer buergeranum - trident maple (do not confuse with the japanese
maples)
one Acer pseudoplantanus - aka an english Sycamore
put the last two in the list just to prove that all Acers should`nt be
tarred with the image of japanese ones.
One things for certain. You`ll have fun choosing your trees.
