Default shade trees

G'day Matt

I agree with Richard that a Camellia would be nice...mine have been in
bloom since 1st or 2nd April and still got heaps of buds. Another
suggestion is a Bauhinia tree, although these are semi-deciduous, but
bloom profusely although not as long as the Camellia.

I've had good sugestions from people for shady plants,but i want a good
tree or smallish tree which is nice looking and will grow in a really
shady spot outside a window,the tree that is there now is a mirror tree
is not doing well and that is almost a weed and not very attractive.
any hints



Go a camellia and when it is large enough you can prune it to shape.

Cheers

Richard
