Question from
Lou
Could anyone suggest fast growing small tree/shrubs which would give me screening from the road and houses opposite (pics attached) please. This is all newly planted and not sure if Red Robin will do the trick, or even it compliments existing planting. Pic views are taken from a seat showing gaps on either side of garden where we are exposed to the world on all fronts! This is our first garden for over 12 years, and would much enjoy a secluded area to sit out in. We are also amateur gardeners. Is Leylandii appropriate?
Thank you, Lou

Question from
Sheila Cadd
I would like to move a smallish specimen to a place in the garden where it can grow and flourish to a full size tree. What time of year would be best to do this? Thanks

We just purchased a dwarf red robin and though we water it, it's leaves are turning toasty and brown. What's wrong? Any suggestions? Thanks.

Question from
rebecca wingar
My photinia was planted last year by a landscaper, it has never stood upright and has almost grown as though it has fallen over. Can it be staked or trained to grow up a fence?
