When I moved in 7 years ago, in a flush of excitment, and without any planning, knowledge or foresight, I planted 3 trees....
a quince in my front paddock which has done beautifully,
a Victoria Plum in my front garden, shaded by other trees and which hangs grimly to life
a Camellia outside my front door because I had seen a house with one in full sunshine and it looked beautiful.
I am happy with the quince
I live in Essex clay
My questions are
(a) Is it too late to move the Victoria Plum to the paddock. Its not grown since it was put in (its about 4 foot tall) and there is no point it staying where it is.
(b) The Camellia (after a few sheep ravages is also not thriving.... what would she like, apart from some stock fencing to prevent damage... to give her a growth spurt. We are NOT well drained, but the other Camellia was also in Essex clay (it was on a property I was guzumped on)
Any thoughts would be gratefully received.
