tree recommendations wanted
I am sure someone out there can suggest a suitable tree for our front garden to replace the cherry which is now about 50 years old and has succumbed to a virus (brought on by the cable installations down out road) The front garden is about 30 foot long and about 40 foot wide (no idea of metric measurements!) The tree is almost on the boundary west boundary about 15 foot from the house but has never caused any problems. We like it because it gives shade in the summer due to the fact that our front wall faces south. The cherry is directly over the drains but again no problems. We have clay and slightly alkaline soil with loads and loads of flint. No doubt chalk some way down due to us being in the Chiltern area. Hedges on boundaries are hawthorn and about 8 feet high. Thought of a multi stemmed jaquemontii but would like a reasonable height, not the dreaded Robinia (false looking thing) Janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
