I confess it, I have always had a fancy for Hamalayan Birches. Tall, elegant things with long limbs, pale and translucent and as haughty as a catwalk model. Now I can indulge myself.
Having removed the fountain and ornamental pool in the front garden and which we inhereted with the purchase of the new house; I have prepared a bed and planted three statuesque beauties amongst some box balls.
The effect is immediate and quite satisfying. I am not against water features of course, rather I prefer plants. And no plants go together better than box and birch.
It's comforting that amidst the mayhem in the back garden, now a building site, the front garden is serene and calm. All the more so because of my pale and elegant birches.
