I bet it was, and you can't beat your own.... making me hungry now George.. To think the Bramley was started by a little girl who planted a seed in a garden in Southwell Notts... and look what it became …
Do think who it could have been thirty years ago that planted it, it has had lots of damage over the years but it has survived and thrived. It's a nice thought that we all leave a bit of garden legacy behind as we keep planting.
I made this reply to you hours ago Malorena, somehow I forgot to post it to this thread then. So this is a little late to your reply regarding the soil test and your lovely camellia. How about middle of the road - 7.3 or 4 perhaps Malorena? The Spring Festival camellia is beautiful for it's compactness and contrast of flower to leaf. We have 4 large camelliass, they were planted around 1890 and are huge, but so reliable and colourful no trouble to look after, just an occasional shaping, there are thousands of varieties of this plant so putting a name to them is impossible.

I tried it here at the front of the border, but despite keeping it hydrated, it couldn't cope with the heat as well as the other Berberis types, and went crispy.

Stunning Camellias, Guernsey D, what a lovely inheritance.
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
A couple for today... I love conifers for small gardens... so I choose slimline upright types.. This is Thuja 'Brobecks Tower' about 5 and half foot tall after 7 or 8 years.. Fits into any narrow border or tight corner... I think they go well in rose gardens..
I also have Thuja 'Emerald' which is quicker growing, and a bit wider, but still good for a corner..
Here is Pittosporum 'Elizabeth'.. trimmed and shaped... very useful evergreen for screening..
