    Hi, and love the apple tree, duckyjuk, but as for those flagstones ...

    I would take up some of them, in strategic places, and plant a couple of small flowering trees (perhaps the apple) and various evergreen/flowering shrubs in the "holes", creating a relatively maintainance-free garden.

    Good luck and we'll be watching this space!

    Hi there and welcome. In answer to your question, I would not leave them round the tree - but put them on or near the bird table . The blackbirds will enjoy them.

    No, duckyjuk, the multi-coloured ones in the front of the house with pots on them which seem to be holding nothing up but the pots!
