Q: I live in New Westminster, my soil has great
drainage and I would like to grow an Arbutus tree. It would face south,
but I've heard they don't grow well except on coastal rocky areas. Would
you recommend trying and do you sell Arbutus trees.
A:
You heard right. They only really grow well in as you say, coastal
rocky locations. I would highly recommend that you choose another tree.
You're better off trying to grow a tree that will not give you any
challenges and one that will naturally thrive in the environment in your
yard.
Select a tree taking into
consideration your desired specifications starting with your specific
zone, the exposure, height and width, care requirements, blossoms, fall
colour or any other attributes to fit the specific location. Take
advantage of at experts in your local garden centre. Show them a picture
of the area that the tree is to be planted and choose from a minimum of
3 suggestions. Always ask what drawbacks there are to each tree
suggestion to help you determine which tree would be best for your yard.
Care and maintenance play a vital role in selecting the perfect tree so
take some time investigating as your new tree will be with you for a
long time.
