Hiya

I have just moved and have inherited a garden that has a lot of newly established shrubs/trees etc, I’m trying to work out what they all are so I know how to care for them, they all got planted last year according to the previous house owner…

We probably need a photo or two. Wink

The red one is a camellia.

EBearhug · 29/03/2022 15:15

I don't see any pics.

ProperVexed · 29/03/2022 20:17

@EBearhug Nor can I so I thought I would guess! Your turn next....

MrsBertBibby · 30/03/2022 08:47

My money's on Hypericum

ShowOfHands · 30/03/2022 08:49

It's a choisya and just behind it is a photinia and I think I can see a variegated weigela in the background. Love the cat!

MrsBertBibby · 30/03/2022 08:54

Come on @Nocluegardener let the dogs see the rabbits!

longtompot · 30/03/2022 11:29

There's probably a honeysuckle in there too, maybe a winter flowering one.
As for trees, magnolia stellata, silver birch or a Amelanchier, maybe a rowan for the birds

InMySpareTime · 30/03/2022 11:31

The one with the mass of yellow flowers is a mahonia (I'm only here to see how long it takes OP to actually post a photo).

MoonSpoonSoon · 30/03/2022 11:33

Sounds like a beautiful garden.

yamadori · 30/03/2022 17:22

Cotoneaster. There's always a cotoneaster. And at least one euonymus. And a French lavender on its last legs.

Littlemissprosecco · 30/03/2022 17:24

🤣🤣🤣

Babymamamama · 30/03/2022 17:25

Ceanothus? Grin

InMySpareTime · 30/03/2022 17:36

A buddleia that you'll spend all summer nurturing before realising it's a weedy one planted by birds.
A hydrangea that will look nice until you get 3 sunny days in a row, when it will droop sadly and require 100 litres of water to revive.

ProperVexed · 30/03/2022 20:00

Oooh...I've just spotted a couple of lupin and a rather nice azalea.

PollyPutTheKettleOnKettleOn · 30/03/2022 21:37

I hope you've protected that magnolia before the temp drops further tonight, op!

OverByYer · 30/03/2022 21:39

Cacti

Shinyandnew1 · 30/03/2022 21:41

The yellow one is probably a forsythia!

Stylemyhairplease · 31/03/2022 20:50

I'm not sure about the gnomes though. What are those three up to? The ones behind the pampas grass?

PollyPutTheKettleOnKettleOn · 31/03/2022 21:55

Gnomes get up to all sorts, I refuse them access to my garden or I'm likely to come home to an orgy

JayAlfredPrufrock · 31/03/2022 21:57

JayeAshe · 01/04/2022 09:49

Lavatera, deutzia and possibly a viburnum Grin

MrsBertBibby · 01/04/2022 11:10

Always a viburnum.

LockdownGardener · 01/04/2022 11:16

Hypericum calycinum, the councils dream shrub and a depressing memory from my school days.

Grin at gnome orgy
