    Ok, here goes... Without the I'd books as I'm at work so.. Acer beurgerianum Albizia julibrissin Eucalyptus deglupta My best guesses? Thanks janey:thumbup: Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

    definitely Viburnum opulus or Taxus baccata Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

    Leaves are definitely "cut" and have an alternate phyllotaxy, so not Acer, not Fagus either and Alnus cut leaves look a bit like Quercus, so... I'd guess with the only other cut-leaved variety I know - Betula pendula 'Dalecarlica' Nice one Xerxes:thumbup: Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

    yes gorse - Ulex europaeus they are prone to failure at the rootplate though

    haha big clue, thanks! Prunus 'Royal Burgundy' And on that note i need some zeds, cheers for that gollum, feel free to post more, and anyone else too:thumbup:
  7. RobArb
    I'd go with Prunus sargentii or Prunus 'Kanzan', more the latter than the former but have a feeling i may be wrong

    I can also recommend Euonymus europaeus - Spindle Tree Ilex aquifolium - Holly Taxus baccata - Yew Viburnum lantana - Wayfaring tree, and definately worth considering the.. Viburnum opulus - Guelder Rose All natives:biggrin:

    If you really are coastal what about Hippophae rhamnoides - Sea buckthorn It copes well with salt laden winds is attractive with the blueish leaves and orange fruit and grows on nutrient deficient soil, but though, it can sucker, but if your prepared to put up with those it does make a good large tall bushy (and spiky) hedge Then again, what about Corylus avellana - Hazel, another good quick growing tree that can be used as a hedge due to its low form, it would need pruning/coppicing to stop it from becoming too big but think of all those hazelnuts

    Acer negundo 'Flamingo' Good One:thumbup:
  11. RobArb
    Re the graft, i'd go with a Malus sp. due to the young bark but i wouldn't have a clue on the cultivar.???

    Thanks Gerrit, worth a thought though:thumbup: Sent from Rob's GalaxySII

    I wonder then..... Bit of a mad scientist thought here, shoot me down if I'm being thick! As part of my ongoing theory and research into restoration pruning and different techniques on forcing dormant buys to shoot on scaffolded stems, would shining fake sunlight, UV?, (can you even do this) over a certain time initiate growth on some species? ???

    How different is the level 4 tech cert delivery compared to the level 5 FdSc? Is there a significant increase in knowledge obtained between the two levels? Sent from Rob's GalaxySII
