Moved house last year. Need help ID'ing some plants please

Posted: 12/06/2013 at 15:45

3 looks like Prunus lusitanica to me, Portugal laurel

4 Viburnum tinus

5 Escallonia

lost count, the pink one is a weigela

the shrubby one above the pink one could be one of the snowberries

The one after the pink one might be some sort of willow, theyoften get cut back to grow again

what are we left with?

ID on tree and accompanying Ivy please

That's willow coming in from the left and the bulk of it looks like an ash. Millions of little ones is what they do best but seedlings not suckers as in the sumach. Can't remember the name of that species of ivy. Someone will, it's not Hedera helix

If you have something for the ivy to climb up and you like it then keep it, it's rampant, cover anything. If you want another ash, keep one, it's a big tree eventually as you can see from your stump. I think if yiou're going to cut a tree and keep the stump to grow again it looks best cut to at or nearly at ground level but that's a personal choice.

How would you describe your garden?

Osakazuki, could you squeeze just one more plant in there? It's really impressive.

I'm going to Haconby open gardens, S. Lincolnshire, on Saturday and if not worn out by that I shall go to Castor House, N. Cambridgshire in the evening. Wine will be served there.

Well done blueboots. I know what that plant is like and you can't be as violent as you need to be in a lined pool. Good luck with the rest

I've just had a look at the video and been out to look at a young ash that died back last year. Everything was right for ash die back except for those diamond shaped lesions. It hasn't got any

It's not completely dead, it's shooting from the bottom. I might coppice it and see what happens.
