Cornus kousa, the Japanese Flowering Dogwood showing spectacular autumn colour. Both these images were from the same tree (a private garden in Henleaze, Bristol)

One of my favourite trees, the Katsura Tree, just beginning to show its autumn colour.

These two specimens are from the original planting of this spinney, late nineteenth century.

The fallen leaves fill the air with a sweet sugary smell – hence one of the trees names: the Toffee Apple Tree

It has been almost a year since my last post so not to disappoint the hordes of followers, hanging on  Edwards Garden Services every word, I thought it might be a good time to update you all on whats been happening.

In spite of the economic backdrop, Edwards Garden Services has been increasingly busy as the year progressed. With Joel getting to grips with his Hairy Bittercress and Enchanters Nightshade and myself wondering when I’m going to be too old to climb apple trees, our gardens have grown and improved.

Edwards Garden Services garden maintenance schedule includes occasional visits for seasonal tasks such as fruit tree pruning, hedge cutting and garden tidying, to weekly maintenance of large estates with formal lawns and borders.

One feature of shrubs often overlooked is their attractive bark, particularly in winter and someting to exhibit if the flowering season of the shrub is short.

Pruning can be adapted to show this feature to best effect.
