New to my garden in 2015

Post by Gerard »

2015 was a crazy year for buying and selling trees, I have some photos of what is new for me :palm:
March
I was given this lemon scented gum, originally about 1.5 metres tall it was chopped down to about 45 cm,

It has since been further reduced (after this photo) it is now about 30cm

April,
I picked up a very large cedar and a group of junipers. Both were barely alive but happily they have both recovered.
