    Just remember to site it in the right place as it can grow quite tall. I've seen them, when they've just been left to themselves, over 20ft tall.

        Thanks, Jenny :)

        They weren't particularly sharp photos as it has been so dull for the last few days - all this pollution!

        I've got more to add when I have time (just off out).

                  Lovely plants and pictures everyone! My garden is still looking very drab, the few things that are in bloom are all blue in colour. :doh:

                    Val, it started to look good about a month ago but the bright colour of the leaves will fade by July. They do turn a rich red in autumn but only for a short time. A stunning tree for this time of year and we have it where a path from our front door meets the curve of the driveway, so it greets you as you come in or go out (which we do, a lot).

                            Pretty sure I have some seedlings (last year's) - I can send you one to try if you like?
