Tree identification help
Can anyone identify these trees please? If not, could i have ideas for ”lollipop” evergreen trees please? The garden won’t be large so need trees that won’t encroach on the space. It faces east with clay soil.
Secondly, has anyone used yew as a replacement for buxus and can provide any tips (I’m not green fingered!)
Thanks

Please help me rejuvenate unused patio area
Comments (6)Hi Antoinette I too live in Ireland in a Semi Detached. My husband who's the one with green fingers has transformed our garden into an oasis you wouldn't think we lived in a housing estate. You might start with cleaning the slabs. You could change the edging tile with a contrasting one to set it off. Use different sizes and colours of pots. A seating area in one section. Use lots of different colours and plants which are ok to grow in pots. Just seeing all the colours come to life in Spring and Summer will cheer you up. Here are some photos that were taken at the end of summer last year the leaves have started falling from the trees. Oh yeah still have the clothes line up too....See MoreCan't decide on furniture!

Comments (27)No, ask away :-) I'm not a pro though, just kind of passionate about design and interiors and all that :-) Great cabinet. I'm really not opposed to mixing metals. You'll get a more eclectic mix. It is the result of going with what you love and not with what you think goes with something else. And that will give your interior your own personal style. Matter of taste. Some people really don't like it. Others do :-) Go for a fairly large coffee table. I would think at least 100 cm wide. Tape (news) paper together to the size of the coffee table you like and lay that on the floor. It will give you an idea about the scale in your room. You need it to be easily reachable from the sofas, since you have these high armrests. And your room can take a large table. If you can't find a large one you like, you can also think about putting together 4 smaller square ones for example. The one with the metal base (I took two from the Soul Lifestyle site) is on the smallish side. The black one is larger. Round fits nicely with the shape of your sofas. Not sure if I mocked up the sizes correctly, but I think the lovely side table is too small. The lamp is about 70 cm tall (again, I guestimated the size), but it does look small on that low table. Maybe it's taller in real life than in the mock up? Mixed metals in a room...See MoreNeed help with creating a casual seating area in my kitchen
Comments (10)Thanks. Beautiul space. Can you please take a photo of the wall that is across from the island? -there is no overhang on the counter...so I am not seeing stools there on either the long portion of the island or the shorter portion by the window. -if you mean by the window, there is a door on one side and an oven on the other.....hence it is a traffic way,,,,,,you don't want stools there I am not sure why you feel the need to put something there. You might consider art on the wall across from the island to ground that wall. Need a photo....See MoreDecorating help needed!
Comments (1)I think white plantation shutters for the window is what we will go with rather tham blinds or curtains as we are very exposed where we live...See Moreminnie101

23 days agoDon’t want to be a party pooper but no lollipop tree will stay that shape without regular pruning. So if you don’t want to have to climb up a ladder and prune a tree regularly, you may be better to get a dwarf tree or large shrub. I bought a tiny Photinia red Robin from Wilkos two years ago and it is huge now, about 8 ft, so will need some drastic pruning very soon. Depends how much work you want to put in. Smallish trees you could try are Crabapple, Hawthorn, Cornus, Magnolia and dwarf Apple Trees. Amelanchier is a beautiful smallish tree but even that will grow to 20 feet or so. Here’s my tiny Photinia, I’m sure it’s a Triffid!
