cloud tree

I have loved cloud trees for years but the ones I have seen where so expensive until I found this one at stonegreen nursery I know it doesn't look much yet,but for £20 yes £20 I thought I would give it ago, what a bargain:gnthb: will have to get a nice pot and once the clouds bush out should look fab:thumb:

 

Hi Nat, that's a lovely cloud tree for £20 especially for the size. May I ask what it is, specieswise?

They have been popular here for years with olive trees and at first I did not like them but they have 'grown' on me. :hehe:

I've put these up before, but here are the ones the Council maintain in our 'county' town. These pictures are a couple of years old now but they maintain them (the crane is long since gone ....).







PS I was LoL (Lady of Leisure) before I reverted to my real name ... :yho:

 

That's lovely Nat - loads of potential.

I have never seen your pictures before Vicky - they are spectacular.

 

And that blue sky! Oh!!!!
I love the mediterrenian!!!!!!:luv:
Yeah the trees are pretty too:thumb:

 

Hi Nat, I've been to Stone Green Nurseries, so you must live somewhere near me. I bought some phormiums there earlier this year and they were loads cheaper than anywhere else. They look fab in my front garden which is done in a sort of "coastal" theme.
Fab pics, Victoria. I remember seeing cloud trees at the royal palace in Bangkok and being really impressed. Beats bonzai any day, in my opinion!

 

Wow lovely pictures Victoria and the cloud trees are fab, makes mine look rather sad, it's buxus pyramidalis (box) and Tiarella I love going to Stone Green Nursery have you been to the one just down the road Madrona Nursery thats nice but alot more expensive

 

No, Nat, I'll check Madrona Nursery out next time I'm over that way. I like Stone Green for big things like trees, climbers & shrubs etc. They usually have a stand at the Kent Garden Show too. At the moment, I'm thinking about seeds for next Spring which I often get from mail order catalogues (saves driving miles!) or from seed swops with other gardeners.
Cheers
