Recommend a tree

Hornbeam?

 

A nice 'golden elm' surely!

My neighbour does have some spectacular cherry trees with beautiful pink blossom. I'd like something flowering preferably

Olive trees, I kid you not but our CostCo's had some really nice ones. We can source some nice ones as well between 300-2500 the Costco ones were almost as good as what we had and half the price.

 

Ilex crinata pruned as clouds.

 

If for flowering then Wisteria standards are nice.

 

Not keen on Acers anymore bit old hit and can look a bit crap after a while Palmatums especially snake barks are nice though.

We have a nice acer growing nearby that I don't want to uproot. Had thought about olive trees - do they produce edible fruit in this country? The spot tends to get the morning sun but not a huge amount in the afternoon

I'd go for a pair of dessert cherries. Have an early and a late variety and they'll still flower close enough to pollinate each other. The blossom looks almost as good as the ornamental flowering cherries.

Good shout. Spring flower, summer eating and autumn colours...

[Pinkfoot]

Camelia per chance?

[richardwale]

Prunus serrula.

You'll never look back

Prunus serrula.

You'll never look back

I have often thought about grafting flowering varieties on the top of a mature Serrula/Tibetica so that you get the bark on the stem and a flowering head.
