Recommended Posts

in the new year ive got a large horse chestnut to take down but the customer wants me to re-plant after the stump grinding has been done,

now the tree has bleeding canker, is there any trees i should NOT put in the place of the cheggy??

and it has to be a small tree as well because there is abc power cables over head and would be silly to plant a large growing tree in its place and to only have more work done in 10 years time...

cheers ben

Re-planting can be a personal thing, give them a list to choose from.

What I know about bleeding canker is it worse on poorly drained soils something to do with water spreading the infection.

 

It affects Silver Birch all Chesnuts (well not sure about sweet/castenea but that gets big) and Oaks.

 

So maybe something like Magnolia Grandiflora, its evergreen with large attractive leaves and big flowers.

 

Not so Keen on Magnolia Soulagaena,

Magnolia x loebneri is one of the nicest decidous ones, which has scented flowers.

 

Robina psuedoaccacia "Aurea" golden leaved variety.

 

Catalpa bignonoides, Indian bean tree, is a good tree, but may be to big.

 

Cornus alternifolia, wedding cake tree is intresting.

 

Judas Tree

 

Whitebeam

 

etc but those are just what I like and can think of that are small'ish and should be tolerant of bleeding canker.
