Natives are our usual "let's plant some more plants" theme. But these exotic deciduous trees seduced us at the nursery - we didn't think it through very well - 4 months of bare sticks is not very encouraging....
I'm with you Rob. The only deciduous trees we have are fruit trees and a small curry-leaf 'tree' in a pot. Oh and the darned Chinese maple that is a real mixed blessing, suckers like mad.
@golftragic Anything that suckers is so annoying. And so many of them get so big!! African Tulip Trees, Chinese Elms, and now I know about Chinese Maples!
@casablanca I would love to be able to say "yes" but I think ours might be sorry that we bought them! Our soil's not too hot so they have been really slow doing much. I fear we are bad exotic parents!!
@robz We bought a load of stuff at the garden centre on Saturday and dug it all in. Most of them are things we have never grown before, so we are clueless as to if they will be happy or not!! I think you are not alone in being a bad exotic horticulturalist!!
