What plants would you suggest I use to conceal the concrete box in the foreground of the attached photo? I have planted Cotoneaster horizontalis around the box to the background. The surrounding lawn has Maples, Silver Birch and Mountain Ash. This lawn gets morning and full afternoon sun. Your expert advise would be greatly appreciated.
I've a Wollemi Pine about 4 years old now. It grew very well in the first two years. Last winter's frost seems to have killed it, as the stems went brown and fell off quite easily. The winter before that the tip of the plant died (no wax polar cap formed), so I pruned it off and new growth appeared the following spring, just below where I cut it. This year I think frost has killed it. Not sure what to do now or how can I know if it's actually dead. Could this also be a fungicide problem?
I've a 7 meter H x 20m L unsightly building/brick wall to cover up. Thinking of planting dense evergreens. The wall runs east/west so conditions are favourable with a sunny south facing location for planting ,though on slightly damp ground. Can you suggest trees that would do the job for this location in Co.Wexford. I'm planning on layering further trees and shrubs in front of the main 'curtain' of trees that will cover up the wall. As you can see this area is part of a driveway.
