So did you get back to the store?
What did they have?
Were you wary of strange looks as you poked the plant pots soil to detect taper troubles?
I see another garden has fallen to the charms of Leylandii,a brand new fence and pokng out over the top at uniform height is brace of them.
A fence and a hedge?
You can never have too much privacy,i wonder what are they hiding.
I was out yesterday examining a chalk quarry for material but i couldn't find anything that inspiring,especially as the roots seemed to be rather long and situated between fractures in the chalk.
If i had found any conifers i would be out there digging away but it was not to be.
So i cycled onwards to the next town keeping my eyes peeled for interest,it is suprising how few evergreens are in the landscape but i did see some wonderful old pines in the Gardens of a relatively new housing development.
I wondered if those houses sold for a premium because of those trees,or maybe they were just a tree in the garden.
Anyhow,i cycled on and kept my eye out for Leylandii and it wasn't long before i found the best bunch of the day brutally lopped back so people could pass without walking in the road.
The owner maybe felt that removing them altogether would have ruined his investment,who knows?
I got a bit lost on my way to the garden center that i knew was over there somewhere but was heartened by the sight of Pines.
I had arrived!
The selection was woeful,many healthy young Leylandii,a few Squamata Juniper,about three sickly looking Watereri Scots pines,a bunch of Cryptomeria,some dead stock on special offer and lastly some Picea Pungens Globosa.
I didn't want to leave empty handed so a Globosa it was.
I think i managed to select the worst one and yet spent a long time doing so.
