Hi there, do you mean the variegated tree on the left of the photo, if so it’s a Cornus controversa 'Variegata’ it will reach a height of 4-8M but is slow growing and will take 20-50 years to reach this height and width. It’s common name is a Wedding Cake Tree as it grows in layers or tiers.

Thank you so much for answering my question, sorry I didn’t make it clear I meant the small pale green tree in the foreground on the right. I would love to know what it is.

polkadotjen you need to look out for different root stocks when buying an apple tree. Apples are grafted onto different roots so you end up with different sized trees. M27 and M9 are the smallest - and you can keep them compact by pruning and cordoning. If you are only having one apple tree make sure it is self pollinating - Cox's Orange Pippin needs another variety to pollinate properly though new self fertile forms have been developed. Good luck with your move.

Don't overwater. Use a watering glass from amazon or elsewhere. Only refill when this is empty. Im in an east facing london flat and mine is fine.

Agree with Sonia. This will be heavy work as tree roots generally spread as wide as the branches and the older and more established they are the the more shock they will get from being moved and the success rate is not great. Best time to transplant most trees and shrubs is late autumn, however with the camellia (which is looking beautiful btw) you can move after it’s finished flowering. If you’re having excavations done for foundations etc. and they use a digger maybe you can politely request help with digging them out🙂. And as said try and keep as much soil around the roots as possible, prepare the new planting hole in advance and water well. There is prep you can do to help minimise distress, more info here: https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?pid=293 Best of luck! You have a beautiful garden and I think I can just see a lovely magnolia about to flower.

We've finally done our tree indoors. The outdoor one has been there a week or two! Just the two of us now this year as our guests in tier 4, as we shall be from Saturday. Still looking forward to Christmas Day. Some light in the darkness. Happy Christmas everyone.

arh.... that one is also a Cornus but a Cornus 'Eddies White Wonder', very similar size expectations to the other Cornus . It has beautiful white flowers in the spring and strawberry like fruits in the autumn. You often see them in Chelsea Garden Show schemes as they flower at that time of year.
