Fast growing SMALL tree?
I am looking for a small tree (up to 20ft) to plant about 10 ft away from my
conservatory. Obviously I would like it to be fast-growing because I am impatient. :) Ideally I would like something native. Any suggestions? ROSIE (Somerset) |
Fast growing SMALL tree?
Planting ANY tree that will reach 20 feet high that close to a building is
very unwise. |

The message
from "Rosie" contains these words: I am looking for a small tree (up to 20ft) to plant about 10 ft away from my conservatory. Obviously I would like it to be fast-growing because I am impatient. :) Ideally I would like something native. Any suggestions? Try winter-flowering viburnum - small tree - may not even grow to 20 feet, has small clusters of strongly-scented pink flowers through the winter months -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

Obviously I would like it to be fast-growing because I am impatient. :) Ideally I would like something native. Any suggestions? ROSIE (Somerset) Try something like Malus (Crab Apple) 'Golden Hornet' Compact, upright, relatively trouble free. Choose a plant on a rootstock suitable for your situation. On a semi dwarfing rootstock it won't grow very quickly but it will flower and fruit at a young age and won't outgrow its space. A sweet cherry on a dwarfing rootstock - flowers fruit for you, or more likely the birds + autumn colour. Prunus incisa 'Pendula', a little gem of a weeping tree - it will never get very big, we've not had ours long enough to tell for sure but it's looking like many years to exceed 10ft, an absolutely perfect miniature for a small garden; flowering now and good autumn colour. Conifers? Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Ellwood's Gold' very slow tight neat upright form with pale yellowish green foliage, again many years to exceed 10ft but unlikely to outgrow its space - don't be fobbed off with other forms of C. lawsoniana without checking tho' because some of them grow as big and as fast as Leylandii. These are all easy and not too picky about soil. Some Maples might suit but need careful siting - like protection from cold winds, humus rich reliably moist but well drained slightly acid soil - that gardeners' dream about as common as hens teeth.
