I want to plant a tree. As it is my first time doing this I would like to know what tree would be best. I read that best time is spring or autumn but see people doing it now.
Thanks, problem there is I am not sure, new to treesDifficult to answer without knowing a number of factors including the space you have for the tree to develop, the height you want, the type of ground.
Thanks for that link. I was looking at some trees at woodies, forgot to write down the names.I see the silver birch is decidious. Think I would prefer an evergreen and also the SB grows slowly doesn't it? Going on what i read just now, I would like fast growing evergreen multistemmed tree, if such a thing exists!Have a read through this section
[broken link removed] of the RHS site first and then make a decision on the size and type of tree to go for. Personally, for a small garden I would look at silver birch, or a compact flowering cherry.
Saw Prunus Serr. Sunset Boulevard today. Would that be OK in centre of small lawnHave a read through this section

AFAIK....Prunus isn't evergreen!Saw Prunus Serr. Sunset Boulevard today. Would that be OK in centre of small lawn
I think you are right but it is lovely, might be prepared to have non evergreen for it. Thanks for the replyAFAIK....Prunus isn't evergreen!
Its a form of cherry tree is it? I get confused there are so many types and sub types of trees.Shady Brady, That looks like a really cute cherry tree, I did notice from the link that it is a half-standard,
I think multi stemmed means where it is not very high up the trunk before it branches out.Might be wrong cannot find where i read it. some info at http://en.mimi.hu/gardening/multi-stemmed.htmlPrunus is a genus of trees and shrubs, which includes the plums, cherries , peaches, apricots and almonds, but Prunus Serrulata is a cherry.
Don't know what you mean by multi-stemmed, but this one will probably have a slightly shorter trunk than some of the bigger cherries.
Standard usually means one stem/trunk up to a certain height +/- 1.5m...I think multi stemmed means where it is not very high up the trunk before it branches out.Might be wrong cannot find where i read it. some info at http://en.mimi.hu/gardening/multi-stemmed.html
What is half standard?
