Hi all,To many im sure this is a daft question, but what type of tree is this?
And as you can see its lost the shape it was once pruned to, when is the best time of year to cut it?
Many thanks
It looks like a fir tree of some kind
Edd conifer is the word I was looking for lmao
Thanks, is there a better time of year to prune it?
Does it need pruning? It's tiny. Or is that a trick of the camera.
With conifers if you cut off the green, leaving any leafless stem, that's how it stays. Leaves don't regrow.
I think that's its natural habit of growth - don't think it's one of those conical types.
Nutcutlet - it's about 3 foot. When I moved in it appeared shaped and now a couple of years later it is untidy.
Must be the magic of the camera, looks fine from here
Looking at the photo it does look tiny and in the grand scale of trees it is.
I just want to tidy it up, and definitely don't want to end up with a huge tree.
Thanks Mike Allen, i have just googled that. I will have a look during daylight hours.
I will have to double check if it's wooden though
sorry to have to disagree with you Mike, but to me , it looks more like some form of Chamaecyparis.
