    Hmmm didn't think that would work...

    Think I've decided...

    from left:

    fagus sylvatica dawyk purple (columnar purple beech)

    fagus sylvatica dawyk gold (columnar gold/limey leaved beech)

    prunus crimson pointe (columnar purple leaved flowering plum)

    fagus sylvatica dawyk gold (columnar gold/limey leaved beech)

    fagus sylvatica dawyk purple (columnar purple beech)

    liriodendron tulipifera ('tree shaped(!) bright green/yellow leaves)

     

    The columnar ones will fit nicelt behind trampoline and slide until they are no longer needed in a couple of years.

    There's more space for lirio further to right, and then will think more about nearer shed at a later date.

    I have the lirio already (and an amelanchier but got another spot for that)

    All others in local GC for under £40 and £5 delivery.

    Well, my visit to GC didn't go as planned!

    The variety of fagus I wanted doesn't keep it's leaves over winter so wont give a better screen than others 'on the list'.image

    Instead I chose a cotoneaster as its evergreen and fits the purpose.

    So now my plan had comp[lately changed and I decided to stop 'thinking' and go with my heart image

    I have wanted a liquidambar for ages so I now have 'Lane Roberts' on its way tomorrow. image

    I have kept seeing an Acer drumondii in local gardens so went for that as well!image

    Not the plan I had, don't fit purpose but love em!
