Specimen Tree part Deux

] Hello, ] ] Further to my request for info on interesting specimen trees, I am now ] down to four candidates; acacia dealbata, amelanchier, robinia pseudoacacia ] "frisia", and the Rowan ( Sorbus Aucuparia ). ] Andy, I missed most of the original thread, but did anyone suggest a Liquidambar? Very pretty, the variegated ones have a lot of interest. I've got a Robinia Pseudoacacia frisia, been in for about 8 years. It's a nice tree but it takes a lot of wind damage. Also, for reasons unknown it hasn't flowered in a few years. Did have a swarm of bees in it last year, though. If wind is an issue at all I'd not recommend this or the acacia. Rowans are lovely trees, the one you describe sounds very tempting indeed! We have a Whitebeam (Sorbus Aria Lutescens) that hasn't been in very long, but it's already very showy. Can't go wrong with a Rowan, IMHO. Good luck! -E -- Emery Davis You can reply to by removing the well known companies |
