I love them @Dovefromabove, regardless of the type I was lucky and got a very nice specimen for the garden round the corner. I wasn't there long enough to fully enjoy it, and then the new owners chopped it down along with the hedge. They clearly didn't realise it wasn't 'hedge'. Fortunately, it has all re grown and when I went past in autumn [I try to avoid that normally] it looks fine. I was awaiting a specific one from Pippin Trees for this garden, but I'll now have to wait till autumn again as they still have no stock. I'll need to see if the nursery has any nice ones. That's always dangerous going there...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Thanks for your help. I have a follow-on question about multi-stemmed trees. I should really get a single stem tree as the space at ground level is quite restricted, but I just think the multi stemmed Lamarckii are so beautiful. I can probably fit a fairly compact multi-stem in, but it starts sprawling (or I get a wide-spreading one in the online order lottery) I’d have to lop off some of the wider spreading trunks. Would the tree eventually grow some more or would I just end up with a couple of sorry looking Twiglets?
