My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Name That Plant!

Tree ID, please

5 years ago

Growing in a park, in Truro, Cornwall.

When I first spotted this, from a distance, my first thought was Harry Lauder's Walking Stick (Corylus avallena 'Contorta').

Definitely not, once I saw the leaves.

Any ideas?




TIA

    Listed as 'Pendulum' (= cultivar and not var.) in the 2014 Hillier but without any historical information. One of the best places to look for such would be Jacobson, North American Landscape Trees (1996, Ten Speed Press, Berkeley) but my copy eventually fell apart and I recycled it. Otherwise J. does have it listed as 'Pendula' in his Trees of Seattle - Second Edition (2006).
