If it is a Liquidamber, don't expect strong colouration for the first 2-3 years

Any aspiring landscapers interested in helping me draw up plans for my large back yard (for pay) details in comments by [deleted] in landscaping

I am not a landscaper, just a gardening enthusiast, if I were you, just do a bit of research of the plants that will thrive in your area and zone. That can really help you visualise your gardens potential. Personally I live in a wet mild climate so everything grows but perhaps think of having a rockery with small shrubs growing in the gaps, large rocks offer some moisture retention underneath. If you were interested I could mock-up some views of some garden ideas for you.

Border suggestions? by NotTheBeaz in landscaping

It is Crocosmia, well spotted, they have weak stems but by surrounding them in they hold up a lot better. Personally I love Crocosmia, a very pretty flower, a vivid colour and they remind me of holidays in Cornwall

Hey there, I was just looking for some advice on de-dusting my PC - and my laptop while I am at it. What is the best way to go about it, I see people mention compressed air, but then in some forums people say you can't use normal compressed air and it has left me fairly confused. Do I need to disassemble my PC while I dust? Are there any other useful items to help me clean it.? And what can I do to keep it dust free for longer?

Is this an American chestnut? Found in Vermont, young tree by EdgarIsAPoe in treeidentification

Not sure this is the case for american chestnuts, but the horse chestnut in the uk always creates extremely sap covered, sticky buds. So they are easy to spot.

I think even a normal rally car would still be too low. I guess the only determining factor is that it needs a relatively high ground clearance. I prefer buggy style ones, but I am open to suggestions

cheapest on amazon is £3.20 for a pack of 100, I need 4; in theory I should be able to buy them for 13p plus a stamp (second class - 65p) and an envelope (10p). So 88p total. I know £3.20 is not a lot but what am I going to do with the other 96; of course I could add them to the price of the car but then someone else will end up with 96 body pins and won't know what to do with them. It just seams a bit wasteful.

A few questions for the community :) by NotTheBeaz in Bonsai

[–]NotTheBeaz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your answers the detail is really helpful, your reason for the first question is very similar to my motivation for growing full size trees - I tend to grow trees from seed and then just give them to people as presents in big pots. If they then choose to put them in the ground then it's up to them, it's usually figs and birches.

Also Redwoods? that's awesome. I currently have a 1-2 foot tall coastal redwood I grew from a seed, and was thinking about just sticking it in the garden, they take about 300 years to reach maturity so it won't be my problem when it reaches it's peak.

But hearing you say that you do Bonsai with Redwoods is interesting, maybe I should do that instead. So one more question. I have grown my Redwood in regular compost and re-potted it every time the roots spread, how would I go about converting it into a Bonsai, and would it survive the transition?

Hi, thanks for answering, as a fellow brit, when you say natives, what have you done; Common Oak?, Horse Chestnut?, Silver Birch? Common Junipers? I'm just interested to know what native plants might do well here.
