| I hadn't planned on buying anymore trees. But , when I came home the other afternoon . My shady corner was decidedly bright . It took a me a minute to realize what had changed... the neighbors giant fir tree was GONE. It's kind of shocking when that happens. Not that I loved that Fir tree . But suddenly the shady seating area was so exposed and not so cozy. And worse the view of the house next door…no, no, no. |

So, off we went to our local NW nursery outlet, where I'd bought my Katsura last year.
And after poring out our problem to the sympathetic nursery man . We came home with ; Carpinus Betulus Fastigata or Pyramidal European Hornbeam . |
It's already softening that view... so relieved. And a beautiful graceful shimmering tree it is. I like that it's covering the fence , as well .
I love the pleated leaves and hop-like flowers of Hornbeam. Good choice!
ReplyDeleteI nearly got another Katsura , but I think this is the right one.
DeleteI can't really express how delighted I was to see springtime arrive this year. It does good for the heart, doesn't it?
