My new tree!

yes a lovely tree . Don't grow too large either . love to see picture throughout year . Elegant obelisk

That’s an incredible amount of work you did Rose - you certainly deserved a good rest. I’m happy for you that you found a mature Amelanchier and have planted it in time to enjoy the blossom 🙂. Perfect trees … mine is covered in buds and I’m hoping they won’t get frosted!

I love Amelanchiers too Rose and I am sure that yours will be a beautiful addition to your garden.
I am not quite sure how you managed to unpack it, move it and eventually plant it, but it does show a huge amount of determination on your part - you did very well.
Please don't think of another tree just yet though!!! How about a nice packet of seeds next!

Well done, now sit down, rest yourself and watch it bloom.

Amelanchiar is one of my favourites Rose, it will be a beautiful addition to your garden, its a good sized one as well, not surprised at the time it took to get it planted, moving the obelisk, replanting the fuschia and all the sorting and finishing touches you did as well, you do realise that its easier if you decide "before" buying on where to plant, lol....I'm sorry but that really amused me when I was reading it.....

Thanks Paulmaria! yes..I will post more updates on it.
Thanks Klahanie.
The repellant I use is a pepper dust from a diy shop and can also be found in garden centres. At the moment I am using one from "Big Cheese" which is granuals and has a smell that has a repellant in it. Hope this helps.
Thank you Sheila. I am looking forward to seeing the buds open up!
Well ..you know what I am like Chris! lol. I was determined to sort it out! I don't think I have the room for anymore trees though!
Thank you Siris, I will!
I thought that would make you smile Sue!
Only those who really know me would not be surprised at me buying it first, thinking later! lol

That's nice Rose, I love those trees
and I'm another one who buys things and then wonders where to plant them !

Rose, I'm feeling tired just from reading of your gardening expoits! I would love to have an Amelanchier tree in our
garden, not sure where I could plant it though, other than making it a feature in the lawn. I see there are a fair few varieties too, columnar, weeping, spreading so I'm cheekily going to ask the variety of yours! Amelanchiers seem to have something for every season, don't they? Btw, I also grow my 'Lady Boothby' Fuchsia inside an obelisk.

Thanks Shirley!
I didn't know there were other varieties of the Amelanchier so I suppose mine is the ordinary upright one.
I think one in the centre of your lawn would look lovely too!

Thanks Hywel. I am pleased I am not the only one who does that!
Most of the time I know where anything is going, but so wanted an Amalenchier, I didn't give it another thought!

I've learnt a bit today, thanks Rose.
Your Amalenchier will be beautiful! I've admired these lovely trees for a long time. If I'd space, I'd definitely choose this for my garden.
You've done a tremendous job here! It looks very apt in its position! Look forward to seeing more pics!

I had the one Amalenchier, Kate in a big pot since I left Willow Cottage, stayed in the pot at Laceby and planted it in the garden here, so that might give you something to think about.

Rose you always make me smile I think in many ways we are so much alike rather impetuous!. However you are always up to the task in hand and your garden is a credit to you.

Thanks Stroller and it's nice to hear from you again and hope you are keeping well!

Thank you, Rose. You certainly have me thinking about it now. 😊
