I have had three young specimens in a ceramic pot for a number of years now, they are doing fine - I never move it inside. I cannot exclude the...
Pollarding is similar to coppicing.- As with coppicing, only species with vigorous epicormic growth may be pollarded. - As in coppicing,...
The weeping willow looks beautiful. For the other pollarded tree in the first message - I'm more used to seeing trees like that pollarded at a...
Highly uninformed and underwhelming guess .. Kalanchoe of some sort maybe?
With one neighbour we have an ivy and jasmine-clad fence for the first 15 meter, then the rest is basically a shared mixed hedge of all sorts...
Very pretty!
That explains it. I've had it as an unexpected arrival (in Cambridgeshire) but in an inconvenient (to the plant) place, where it flowered and...

Looks in very good health @BB3!

A lovely species @NigelJ . I moved it from an area that was too dry (close to a massive Bramley apple) and as a reward I got months of striking...
It's interesting then why the vigorous growth is from the bottom. The way it is tied looks like it might be wrapped tightly - it invites the...
Presumably these vigorous shoots are from the rootstock, although I cannot quite see where the graft union is in this picture. The way the tree is...
When I search 'butterfly on tree trunk' I get a few images returned with butterflies doing a headstand, and they mostly seem to be painted ladies...
[ATTACH]I don't recall seeing this before. After taking the photo I searched for upside-down butterfly and only found butterflies resting under...
