Thank you. Can I also ask what paint/colour did you use for the fence? I love that it is such a dark grey as pale grey does not give it as good contrast as that one, against plants.

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.

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...)

The light and airy feel is what I like too, it looks lovely when there’s a light breeze. We bought two pots that were being flogged in the garden centre. They probably looked a bit past their best but they were still something like £30 each. When we got them home we just chopped each pot into 2 or 3 clumps before planting it out so that they spread across the space better. We have 2 varieties one is golden (phyllostachys aurea I think) and one is black (phyllostachys nigra I think). The black one is significantly taller but I’m not sure if that’s due to the variety or whether it just established itself better.

Trees are a wonderful addition to a garden. Ones I particularly like are Sorbus, Cornus kousa, Dwarf Apricot (Prunus), Amelanchier. They grow to 10-20 feet. Best to plant them away from the fence lines otherwise they will spread across to your neighbours garden which isn’t always welcome. If you want the correct eventual height then go to the RHS website as they are more truthful about plants heights unlike some sellers. Some shrubs can grown to 8-10 feet so worth considering. Things like Cotinus, Viburnum tinus (E) Hibiscus, Syringa, Photinia (E) and Ceanothus (E) but there are loads. E denotes evergreen.
