Tall thin shrub recommendation??
In message , lannerman
writes Kate;974718 Wrote: Hi Can anyone suggest a shrub that has a profile a bit like a tree... grows to 5-6 feet tall, only spreads 2 to 3 feet, and is quite "leggy" or "trunky" (most interest is found in the top foot or two) ? Many thanks in advance Kate xx How about a 'telegraph cherry' (Prunus amanagowa) It will need pruning to keep it really narrow but gives a nice display of flowers in early May over quite a long period !! Or, train a camellia into a tall narrow shape, something like Camellia 'Debbie' or 'Preston Rose'. Again, without knowing where you are ?? its not easy. regards, Lannerman. Prunus 'Spire' is also fastigate. (But mine, after a score and more years, it at about 12 feet.) -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |
