Green Trees

Trees often grow without a gardener realising - until looking back at old photographs. I find it hard to visualise mature trees when I first plant them. And I wonder if I'll still like my choices years later!

The Dog-Path Garden trees gave me my first big, serious tree purchasing experience. When I think of the books I read and the lists I made! Now, years later, I love the light, warm greens I chose. But what are the biggest trees called? Elms? Oops.

The red foliage of the Cotinus and the variegation of the smaller Dogwoods are beautiful in spring and summer. Later in autumn there are some brilliant colour displays. I'm happy - I think my trees were a good choice!
