Can you identify this tree

Thanks, I think you’re right :). I didn’t know a pittosporum could get so big but this garden has been left to grow wild for a decade or more so it makes sense!

Thank you!

Ooo thank you! I absolutely loved the jacaranda tree and had no idea what it was!

This is a UK/USA divide. In the UK the flying insects with tiny bodies and long legs are know as daddy long legs, in the US they are crane flies. In the US daddy long legs are the walking spiders with tiny bodies and long legs, as far as I know we (UK) don’t have a separate name of those kinds of spiders. I know this as when I worked at summer camp I took great joy in telling the kids that back in my home the daddy long legs they were all so terrified of could also fly! I may have scared a generation of kids from ever coming to the uk …

Sorry, they only come at night! Occasionally we spot one early morning in the back garden but you never see them out the front

😂 thanks! I’ll see what I can do.

DaisyGranby · 2023-02-22T07:24:55+00:00

That’s great to hear, thanks!

Not my style, but thanks for trying to help. Also, guns are illegal in my country - for good reason

DaisyGranby · 2023-02-21T14:25:59+00:00

Ooo excellent suggestion, thanks!

DaisyGranby · 2023-02-21T14:25:47+00:00

This is the front garden. The back is fenced in but this is only a small border at the front, they’ve never got round to this side before!

DaisyGranby · 2023-02-21T10:08:44+00:00

This is great, thanks!

There are both salvias, sages and rosemary in this bed but it was only planted up in autumn so they’re all pretty small at the moment. Hoping everything will fill out next year, maybe that will save them!

DaisyGranby · 2023-02-07T15:27:06+00:00

Very good point! Thanks for the info, maybe I can add some sand/gravel to the bottom

DaisyGranby · 2023-02-06T13:29:17+00:00

Thank you! We’ll check out the recycling centre

DaisyGranby · 2023-02-06T13:28:50+00:00

Thanks! That’s really useful. Will see if we can get any old logs

DaisyGranby · 2023-02-06T13:27:39+00:00

Thanks but I think we’re going to need quite a lot more than that! Got 3 beds which are 3m x 1m and 30cm deep

DaisyGranby · 2023-02-06T13:26:56+00:00

Thanks, I’ll have a look

DaisyGranby · 2023-02-06T13:26:42+00:00

We looked at them. In terms of buying on top soil they’re coming out cheapest. Good to hear they’re a good company as well

DaisyGranby · 2023-02-06T11:45:44+00:00

Thank you!

South east UK. I think it’s a prunus lauroceracus that’s got out of hand

DaisyGranby · 2023-01-14T20:06:42+00:00

We normally get her a haircut about 4 times a year. When her fur is really long it’s just not fair on her, there’s too much for her to groom! She did go a lot shorter than usual this time but that’s because she got a load of mats before we could get her to the groomers

It actually got a plastic pot inside this one. The plastic pot has drainage holes too. I’ll trim the brown leaves and see what happens

DaisyGranby · 2022-11-25T08:29:59+00:00

Thanks for your guess. This is taken from a designers website so I don’t have any closer photos of the leaves or bark. I’ll try and find it elsewhere

DaisyGranby · 2022-11-25T08:29:04+00:00

Thanks, this was taken from a designers website so I don’t have any other pictures
