RE: Choosing a tree

Pamela, indeed Garden centers around here don't have  alot of variety to offer. Tipuana tipu is a very beautifull tree, that is easily found here but unfortunately with time it gets too big to the place I have in mind. I will consider it to another spot in the garden that also needs a tree and is not as near the house as this one.

Dear  Alexandre

 

I thought the lists of suitable trees suggested to you were very interesting but if the Portuguese Garden Centres are the similiar to the ones we have in Spain I was quite pessimistic about what would be available.  Albizia and Cercis siliquastrum are really the only ones available here. I thought your Tipuana tipu ( beautiful as it is) was a long shot on the Iberian peninsula!!. Anyway I am glad you have something you like!

Best wishes

Thank you everyone for all your advices on choosing the right tree for my garden. Having visited the garden centers nearby I ended up buying an Albizia (from all the trees I liked this was the only one I found). I think this will be a great tree for the place I have reserved for her, creating a good shadow on the siting area bellow.
