Hi, I'm new to this site as well as pretty new to gardening.

Been spending a lot of time in my garden this Summer and I want to plant
a tree, or even trees at the bottom of my garden as we're overlooked by
the house at the back.

I want to know what's the best tree to plant ? Our garden is North East
facing and the soil is clay which obviously retains a lot of moisture
and there is some shade there,

Any advice would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks

Ian

You need to tell us about your climate. I know that at least 6 of my
trees would not survive if there were snow in the winter.
