Estate/gardens photo's

[SJB]

Hi, I came accross this forum ages ago whilst researching for a horticultural course and came back again recently by chance, and have become a bit addicted to looking at the photo's posted. I'm not an arborist but the gardens I work at do have some interesting trees and other bits that I thought I would share.

 

Taxodium

 

Arbutus menziesii

 

 

Beech growing out of a sweet chestnut(?) stump

 

 

Eucalyptus gunnii

 

I have others of plants/trees etc if interested. Attatched is Dactylorhiza fuchsii currently flowering in the wild flower meadow.

 

Hope you found these interesting,

Stewart

Hi SJB, with piccies like those you are very welcome.

 

That Pacific madrone is a stunner

Thanks for the comments, I've got more of the gardens that i'll put up.

 

Hi Janey, we have two of the arbutus but the other is in poor shape having spent most of its life (so far!) being overgrown by a macrocarpa cypress, which has now been removed, so hopefully it will start to recover.
