Very nice. I bought one a few years ago after seeing yours Hywel. It had lots of blossom but I can't see many berries. ?

Thank you all :)
What a shame Dawn. Maybe there were not enough pollinating insects around.
Steragram I thought your garden was big enough for a C cornubia :)

Never thought of that Hywel. Thanks. Maybe next year. ?

Hope so :) It usually attracts lots of bees.

Its a bit shaded where it is but that didn't affect the flowers. The bees are enjoying the Sedum at the moment.

Now my Sedums are hopeless this year lol

Isn't it strange...

Well I suppose it is big enough Hywel but David tends to get nervous when suggest anything big. They do get pretty big eventually.I already have a young camellia and a hydrangea waiting for me to pluck up enough energy to make a new home for them... I was so sorry your Sedums have been disappointing - wonderwhy that is? Mine havebrought out some butterflies as longlast.

Mine isn't big. It's a small standard tree, about 4 and a half feet tall. I clip the branches occasionally with a seccateurs.
If you got one like that you'd be able to prune it yourself like I do, and David wouldn't have to worry about it :)

Great - is it on a dwarfing rootstock? the only ones I've seen have been big street trees.

I think it's grafted Sue. It never grows much, and there's a nobbly bit at the base of the stem, like a graft.
I'll put a blog about it soon, for you to see it 'properly' :)

Thank you, I'll look out for it.

What a beauty.......so many berries, do they get eaten by the birds?
20 Sep, 2016
Now that it's in a new place they do get eaten but in a different position they never got eaten ... I think there are more birds out in the hedgerow than there were in the garden. I don't see many birds in the main garden.

That will please you!
