Hello, thank you for contacting us. The trees are Ligustrum lucidum. They have a slight autumnal tinge in these photos.

This or that: Orange tree or lemon tree?

Lemon for me. I decided on a lemon for my patio because I thought that even if the fruits turned out unattractive they would still have every day culinary use and they did. Quince and lemon marmalade to die for. If you are restricted for space or climate go lemon.

Tree suggestions please?

Morning Jacky, I am a keen gardener with an RHS course behind me and I was taught that looking for trees with 3 seasons of interest for a garden is always a good idea ie blossom in spring, pretty foliage in summer and autumn fruit. Something like Amelanchier lamarckii which gets to 10m high and 12m wide has pretty dainty blossom in spring delicate bronze foliage in summer and red orange leaves in autumn. The birds also love the purple black fruits which follow. Or a Malus 'John Downie' or Malus Floribunda both vigorous crab apple trees with a long season of interest. I would probably not go for the Tuscan pillar conifers because they will act as pointers drawing your eye to the houses you are trying to screen. Birch (Betula Utilis var Jacquemontii are beautiful however they will reach 15m or possibly consider weeping birch Betula Pendula "Youngii' which makes a dome shape and gets to 8m high and 10m wide. Perhaps have a look at the RHS website which is very helpful.

Tree help

A better photo would be helpful, all I can see is 1 yellow leaf amongst a bunch of healthy looking ones, leaves do get shed by any deciduous tree - this is what scab looks like: Personally I'd keep it, you can spray it which would help but you're probably not going to eat the fruit anyway unless you're intent on making crabapple jelly? I have an old Bramley apple tree in my garden, it's completely rubbish, covered in canker but it still has blossom, the apples are still edible & it allows me to grow climbing plants up it so it serves a purpose for me. Taking a tree out of a garden really needs thought as it will totally change the space & as you say, shade is really welcome (unless it's a Leylandii tree, in which case it should be torn out & burnt, possibly with celebratory dancing round the fire...)

Tree Stump Help!
Q

I had exactly the same issue with a tree stump that we always tripped over when accessing the back gate! We called another tree surgeon who ground out the stump with a very clever machine (hand held I think!) which turned the stump to sawdust which was very easy to then dispose of. Cost about £90 but it was about 10 years ago. It has never re-grown.
