Questions

Need a 2m high hedge (including 50cm high pots) which will provide privacy from neighbours. Dense and shallow if possible. Evergreen. Thinking about bay laurel?,- anything better?

I am desperate for screening from neighbours at rear.We have a 2.5' gap between boundary wall and our shed.Thinking of thuja smaragd and mountain ash in between as recommend by local garden centre.Would this work?

Hi Gerry, I want to plant a Christmas Tree in the garden for my kids to put lights on at Christmas. Can you recommend a variety that will be slow growing as the garden is approx. 20' x 20'. Is Abies Koreana suitable, I don't want it to grow more than 12' to 15' in height.Would planting the tree in a pot in the ground prevent it from getting to big? Thanks.

Hi Gerry, We are applying for planning for a house and need to decide on what kind of bush to use, to shield our house from our neighbours. We are looking for a fast growing, non shedding bush. Preferable "bushy" enough so we can't see our future neighbours at all. As none of us have green fingers we would love it if you could give us advice on which type of bush to go for. A reply is much appreciated. Kind regards, Annie

I have a bambou sacre, it is in the garden over a year and the leaves keep growing and its flowering but the leaves then turn brown at the tip and fall off. It is bare except for the new leaves.I cant see any insect on it and its in a sunny location.

I would like to grow plants/shrubs in tubs (sitting on sandstone pebbles) against a north facing wall. Can you recommend?
