Identify this Tree
In article , Bill Bushnell
writes With such a fast-growing tree that when mature can be 40m tall, is trimming a practical solution? Does anyone have additional advice? The one in my garden (UK) looks a bit different - perhaps not quite as tall as the Sunnyvale example, but with a much bigger trunk and crown. A lot of the branches seem more horizontal in aspect rather than the comparatively vertical in your pics. This seems to have helped it have a much more open crown, thus spreading wider rather than grwoing so tall. Might be the weather; might be a different variety; might be sex? Anyway, we tend to have it trimmed every couple of years which seems to encourage the spread rather than the height and open out the crown. The other thing is that it looks rather close to the neighbour's house. If it was my house, I wouldn't want it there. Mine is about 20' from the house - but also on ground 5' higher than the house. -- regards andyw |
