tree recommendations wanted
In article , TheGardener
writes I'm not sure what you mean by messy, Janet. Some trees attract greenfly etc and then drip black sooty mould all over the ground or things beneath Chrissie. The cherry is a bit like that with it's fruit dropping over everything including the cars but the main drawback is that the tiny stems that break off are quite knobbly and get into the car grilles and gutters As for it being so close to the house, I can't see it causing any more problems than your cherry tree which is there at the moment. Don't know about its root form, is it surface or deep rooted? The only problem I can see might be that it is quite a slow grower. But even a small Brilliantissimum is stunning. Well actually we do have one next to the red oak at the back. It's been in 20 odd years and the leaves have a lovely pink tinge in the spring and the autumn leaves are indeed nice colours. -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

I can't remember it attracting hoards of greenfly - in fact, it seems relatively pest free. As for the root form, I really have no idea! I'm sure someone in the group will know though! I would guess at it being fibrous rather than tap-rooted, but I could be wrong. -- ************************************************ Chrissie http://www.thegardener.btinternet.co.uk ************************************************ |
