SMALL TREES GARDENING
Posted on Thursday, October 15th, 2009 at 6:30 am
Any recommendations for small trees you can plant close to your house?
As in, about 1 – 2 metres from the house? Our house is on a now busy road, it was built in 1860. Most people’s front gardens are now ‘car parking’. We have a narrow bed currently with a holly in it which looks pretty awful. Our neighbour (we are semi detached)
has a japanese cherry outside his front door, I would like to mirror this as it looks so much nicer but I am wary of causing any structural problems.
Given that councils used to plant trees on pavements very close to houses are there some ‘municipal’ types I could safely try? Or tree-like shrubs? I like blossom and ‘country cottage’ looks!
how about rhododendron bushes you would have lovely flowers and thick enough to give you the privacy you want .
the leaves are pretty too so if not in flower it would still look nice .
