The Gardener's Notepad

A signature plant of English gardens, where specimens of unbelievable size abound. A slow and steady grower, much like Beech, which just keeps plugging along until it becomes as big as the house it is beside. It is advisable to start out with one that is at least 4 ft. tall to begin with since, in all seriousness, most gardeners will be in the grave before that little guy reaches his full glory. The overall appearance is very refined, and is quite beautiful against a stone or red brick wall/house.
