Help - choosing a tree for my back garden
"David WE Roberts" wrote in
: If you want to plant a 12' tree 10' from your house this is possibly not advisable because the roots are likely to grow as broadly as the height of the tree. That close, a container grown tree might be more sensible. To achieve your ideal you will probably have to prune a tree to limit the height, and remove lower branches to give a canopy effect. You might consider a container grown tree in a very large pot. This allows you to manage the height and the root spread. Thanks.. I've decided I can plant the tree an extra yard from the house, and it can grow about 15ft tall if it's a flattish-topped tree (as oppsed to a fanning-out tree such as you average tree. The container idea is something I hadn't considered. It would have to be an exceptionally large container, due to the windy conditions here (several gales each winter are typical). Al |
