Love the trees!

2 years ago

Hello Mr. Howard, could you please tell me what the trees bordering the fence are as it is what I am also wanting to do in my garden to screen houses behind? Also are they evergreens as I want year round screening and greenery? Thanks. Tara

Thank you so much for your prompt response! If I could trouble you with a further question, will they keep their leaves through the winter?

POLL: Apple tree or pear tree?

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.

Have no clue where to start with colour for living room walls

Hi! It's great you want to add colour to the room, that's my favourite type of room :) Looking at the curtains and cushions, on screen, there looks to be a yellow toned green in both, so this could be an option for the walls. Pickleson Paint do a nice pale green that should pick up on these colours, it's called 'Aegean Sage'. With a North facing room, you either want to embrace the cooler darker light with a bold colour to create a cosy feel, or use yellow toned whites or neutrals to help bounce the light round the room. As part of my services I offer an E-design that looks at Mood Boards and Shopping lists for furniture so I'd be happy to discuss further if you wanted to go into a greater detailed design.

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.

A small tree, climber or shrub for very narrow space?
Q

This is a rather expensive solution but it would give you instant cover. You could potentially look at creating your own version of this using some fairly tall individual plants and either planting in the very narrow gap or, as in this example in a trough/window box. I guess you might need to periodically scrape away top few centimetres of soil and refresh with new compost and/or mulch to keep nutrition levels in pot topped up. This example is a jasmine which would hopefully smell amazing but there are other options too (it says this trough is 20cm wide) https://www.hedgesdirect.co.uk/acatalog/star-jasmine-green-screen-trachelospermum-jasminoides-180cm-high-120cm-wide.html#SID=60

No problem at all. They are deciduous but cling to the brown leaves over winter until the spring growth push them off.
