any idea for small mapel tree not trailling and has to be red in colour.

Hi there, I have many different specimen plants - eriobotrya, 27 different species / varieties of bamboo, rare acers, magnolias, tetrapanax rex, trithrinax, 35 - 50 litre fatsia, arizonica, podocarpus salicifolia, rare cryptomeria, variegated sweet chestnut, hedychiums the list goes on. Can I bring them over to my new life on Achill when I move from England. If so what is the best way to transport, and how will customs and excise treat it.

What can I plant that will do well on an exposed site in Westport, Co Mayo, I'm looking for ground cover and trees that are natural to the area and will survive the salty winds.Thanks Patrick

Could you recommend a Lilac tree for my front garden. The garden is quite large and I want to plant the tree at the front wall for coverage. What is the best time of the year to plant this type of tree. Thank you

Hi Gerry, Hope you can help with query re above; I want to cover a sun facing brick wall of approx 6ft high x 70ft long - and liked the look of this climber. I have a few questions which hopefully you can help me with; Do you think it would be suitable for the Irish/Meath climate Will it only suit a sun facing wall. Is it very vigorous - i.e. will it grow feet out from the wall ! even with pruning etc. I have only been able to source it from an online UK nursery which proves expensive when you factor in shipping etc - any suggestions for locating it here in Ireland. Finally ! - is there anything in particular you would suggest when planting to give it a good start and should one plant every 10 ft or so suffice. Many thanks in anticipation. Rgds, Dec1.
