7/8ft slim trees

jel · 23-02-2009 10:50am #1

Hi,

Does anyone know a suitable tree or shrub that will grow to around 7 or 8 feet in height, and between 3 and 4 in width? I would like to use say 5 or 6 of these to block off my driveway at the back garden (around 5 metres wide), without totally removing all light and losing the length of the garden.

Thanks in advance,
James.

Hi James,

do you want evergreen trees or deciduous?

Preferrably evergreen, redsquirrel.

Cupressus sempervirens ( Italian Cypress) is fast growing, elegant and around 4-5feet wide but can grow to 40feet in height. However, it is easily maintained at the desired height and is slender even when mature.:)

Thanks,

40 ft in height seems ridiculously high!

Even something 2-3 ft wide that did not grow to be the size of Godzilla would be perfect. The more narrow they are the more I would use.

I just googled them there and I have to say they look very well.

I think I am sold! Do you know of any nurseries in Dublin that would have these?
