My next thread will probably be, 'What is a cheap tree I can buy that will be the right size for my garden and will grow really quickly and look beautiful?'.
That forget -me -not type one might be one of the little speedwells that appear in grass quite often.
I'd agree about the sycamores Jack - they're whoppers! Plenty of nice small trees you could put in. Amelanchier lamarkii (snowy mespilus) makes a nice airy tree in small plots.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
That sounds good. I have always fancied an apple tree. The other reason I'm a bit sad about this, is that from a sitting point in the garden, this tree was what blocks out other houses and next door neighbour as it's right against the fence. I hope I can afford something of a good size. Would I have to get all the roots out too?
It's now dawning on me that the giant tree just behind our gardens is probably a sycamore, which will keep casting it's seed down. Cheers for the advice!

I will try and take a better picture of the 'forget me not/speedwell' When I google image those, it doesn't seem to look like them.
Thanks Fairygirl, the Amelanchier do look nice.
Now I know what to ask for, for my birthday, a tree.
Ah, a site just mentioned Amelanchier likes neutral to acid soil, mines Alkaline.
How about a fruit tree? You can get apples on various rootstocks, get the size you want

Was just about to suggest that nut
I got a couple of apple trees last year for a tenner each in B&Q. They're in big pots just now.
