Tree recommendation
To those who don't know it, may I suggest that anyone looking for a small
tree looks at Clerodendron trichotomum fargesii. It's in flower now, which is a virtue but on top of that, it has the most lovely scent and the flowers are followed by china blue berries from which it is easily propagated. It grows fairly quickly and the only drawback I can see to it is that it looks stone dead until, suddenly, it doesn't! It's hardy but apparently will grow to a lesser height in cold areas. I was watering the area of the nursery in which ours grows and the scent hit me full on, even at 7.30am. It makes a lovely umbrella shape and all of this makes me wonder why one doesn't seen it grown more often. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ |
