Hi, There is a single tall ash tree in a raised bed in my garden and at
the moment it's surrounded by weedy grass. It's in a sunny spot South
facing and not really shadowed by much with a tall wall behind it.
I'd quite like to plant something under the tree but I'm not sure what.
I had thought Bluebells, but I think it might be too sunny for them. Do
you have any ideas?
I'm in Scotland and it's pretty windy, although the spot is fairly
sheltered (for a given value of sheltered!)
By 'ash' do you mean Fraxinus which grows to about 100' and is a forest
tree, or Sorbus acuparia, the mountain ash or rowan? You could grow
things like Vinca or daffs and cyclamen under either but a Fraxinus
might give you and your wall considerable problems.
