Questions

Could you recommend some fast growing plants to form an arch in a south facing, very sunny garden? We'd prefer evergreen so it doesnt look too ugly in the winter.

Could you recommend a plant/small tree that could be planted in a pot for a gravestone over the autumn/winter months. Have been planting various heathers for years but need something different.

I was wondering if you could suggest some attractive trees (at least 10ft tall but not necessarily too wide) to provide screening along a south westerly facing side wall in my suburban garden. I would like evergreen trees so that the screening is year round but I don't particularly like conifers but I cant come up with anything on the plant finder or elsewhere. I saw something that I like, that looked like olive trees at about 12ft tall but I wasn't sure if they would be hardy enough to grow so well in Ireland. We lost a lot of shrubs last winter so whatever we plant will need to be quite hardy.

I want to plant 2/3 fast growing trees to obscure neighbouring windows overlooking my garden. I want something deciduous with non invasive roots. I attach a photo of the 3 windows I wish to conceal from view. As you will see there is an old stone boundary wall that I do not want destabilized by tree roots.

i fell in love with a Cercis tree i saw recently in Airfield House. it was still a very vivid burgandy and i've since been trying to buy one but see that most types fade to green by this time of the year.. could you recommend a type that retains its colour throughout summer? also i would be planting it next to a wall and it would be a little exposed.. is this ok?

Ive bought a winter flowering cherry and hope to plant it along one side of the garden, beside a 5ft fence. Ive read different reports of how tall and wide it can grow. How far out from the fence should i plant it and can i prune it/remove some branches if they are extending out too far. My garden is narrow- about 15ft wide
