Thats a Bouganvillea - let it grow and it will produce huge display of colour.
Bay Suckers Hi I have a 15yr old Bay Tree in a raised garden bed (with other herbs)..for the past few years it has been sending out shoots at ground level and I have been cutting them at or just below soil level...This enhances the growth however, and the number of "suckers" has become a problem as they branch from the previous cut area... HELP!! what do I do to reduce /stop this occuring? Or is it time to remove the tree ( which looks fabulous as I have topiaried it) and replace with a lemon tree???

Cupressus sempervirens Stricta Hey Lizel, They don’t like heavy pruning but respond well to topiary, which is generally just small scale shaping - e.g. spiral. So you should be fine.
Cupressus sempervirens Stricta - fire resistant I am reading up on what trees are fire retardant and I came across an article that said that the mediterranean cypress wins hands down. Have you come across this and is this particle type the one they are talking about?
English Oak I am a new Australian and love it here, especially all the amazing native plants, many of which I am attempting to grow in my garden. But there is one icon of olde England that I really want to have there too and thats an old oak tree. Do they grow here OK and where can I get one?
Maple Trees What type of plants if any can grow under maple trees? Everything I planted under the tree either has stunted growth or just kind of dies off.
Ornamental Pear - Cleveland Select Hi, I have just planted 10 Ornamental Pear - Cleveland Select trees down a long driveway. The trees where a glossy green before I planted them and have since turned a red/gold colour since planting. I am aware these trees turn this colour in the later months of autumn, but have seen others of the same species in the same area which are still glossy green. Just wondering if I should be worried.
Raising Garden Soil Levels Hi, We have a long hedge in our back garden at the bottom of a slope. We were thinking of leveling off the garden slope with the addition of a load of topsoil. But this would mean an extra foot or so of soil over the hedge, covering some lower branches and leaves and making it harder for the water to get to the roots. I was wondering if you could give me advice on this. Will the hedge survive? Not sure of the exact variety of hedge, but it is native to Northern Ireland. Thank you very much in advance for your help on this. Peter
Schinus molle My first post so hoping for some help here. We live in Dongara WA and have planted 10 x Schinus molle to create a wind break. They've been in the ground since April and growing well but getting very long branches and we're wondering if we should be trimming them off now or let them just keep growing. We've had to stake them pretty hard against the southerly wind
Trumpet Tree? I have seen a small tree that has very large trumpet shaped flowers on it that face vertically downward. The color of the flowers that I have seen are peach. Do you know what the name of this plant is?
Ulmus parvifolia Is Ulmus parvifolia allelopathic - ie. does it exude chemicals toxic to other plants? I am having great difficulty getting azaleas to grow under the canopy of a mature specimen.
Umbrella Tree - roots Hi all, we have a tree close to our house wall, which I believe is an umbrella tree. I have read that these have very invasive roots so I think I should move / remove it. But having dug down a little, the roots do not appear to be very invasive at all. Can anyone confirm what tree this is and whether we should remove it, or is replanting an option given it's size?
