Hi Chantal,
What's the name of the book and its publisher, my son-in-law
is a tree surgeon and landscaper near Perpignan and it would be very
useful to him

Subject: Re: evergreen trees
I suppose you're living in Spain as you just mention Costa
Blanca.
I'm myself looking for the same trees to hide a very ugly 2-storey
building close to the house and creating my new garden. So I don't want to
make mistakes before planting a tree for the life.
I've found a book (in
french ) newly released which invite gardeners and landscape designers to
plant new and uncommon trees in the south of France.
Some ideas from this
book :
- acacia iteaphylla : windbreak,support light salted winds and grows
quickly
- callistemon viminalis : lime-tolerant
- cinnamomum camphora :lime-tolerant but you can't plant anything else
under because of it's roots
- myoporum laetum : drought, pollution and salt tolerant
The
problem is to find a nursery. I think that Filippi in Meze has the callistemon
and myoporum.
Interesting to know what the other people think about this
subject.

Has anyone has success for
reasonably quick growing evergreen trees suitable for the northern Costa
Blanca for amateurs to plant?. We
need a couple of spaces filled
up. Our soil is quite heavy as we are overlooking the sea but not
right on the cliff edge. Mediterranean Pines grow well but I don't
want cypress or similar. We are thinking about Californian Pepper Tree
and Banksia. Any other suggestions gratefully received
thank
you
