just bought my first tree!!!

I am so excited.I only have a little garden and always thought too small for a tree.While I was surfing gardening sites I read that many trees can be planted in large containers,so growth will naturally be slower.I went shopping yesterday and found just the one.It is a Sorbus'Josephs Rock'.I have been told that the leaves are beautiful,white flowers during the summer and bunches of cream coloured berries in autumn.I cant wait to see it unfold.

 

Beautiful tree netty, I'm sure you will love it

 

Nice Netty my garden is also small, I've a pendula cottoneaster tree, it's evergreen and covered in red berries. Japanese Maple look good in containers.

 

yes I have admired both in the garden centre and it was a hard choice to make.I also bought a Red Robin and the red colour on the new growth is beautiful.Isn't nature wonderful?

 

I must get a Red Robin, I noticed one when out walking with my daughter on Wednesday, it will have to go into a container though as I have no room in the ground.

Hubby and I go to South Wales once a year, been to various places over the years as we had a touring caravan until a few years back, but it does rain rather a lot when we visit, heeee! sorry couldn't resist that!

 

If you are looking for a dainty little tree that will do well in a small sunny garden or container then have a look for Prunus incisa 'Kojo-no-mai' (Flight of Butterflies or Fuji Cherry) http://www.buckingham-nurseries.co.uk/acatalog/pics_29822.html

It's a wee cracker and totally hardy!

 

Prunus Incisa is in great flower for me this year

 

Brandy if you came to Wales today we would be greeting you with glorious sunshine must be best day of the year yet..long may it last :D
Red Robin would do well in a container.

 

Netty, it's also glorius in Derbyshire. Possibly we will be visiting Wales in early september, so can I order the sunshine for then lol

After Easter we're looking out for a Red Robin and Pruna Incisa, me thinks it's time to get the gardening books out :D
