The tree is enormous. My guess is that it is as old as the house 100+ years. The pines at the front of the house are 40 years old according to a neighbour who was around when they were planted and they are minnows compared to this tree.
What a gorgeous spot! It looks very inviting. (Just an aside: Have you had an arborist look at those bottom two trunks on the right? The angle would worry me that they might not have proper growth support.)
Pretty mountain garden
ReplyDeleteThere sure is so much that is characteristic of a mountain garden, so shady, soft and green, a long way from my hot sunny garden in Kandos.
DeleteLovely agapanthus, but how old is that tree with its massive trunk?

DeleteThey look delightful Joan and shady in that spot :D)
ReplyDeleteYes it is a shady spot but I don’t sit there very often. I sometimes rest there when gardening and that is about it.
DeleteNice and peaceful!
ReplyDeletePeaceful and pretty. I like that.
DeleteLove agapanthus, so pretty and more importantly so hardy. Is that a tiny table and chairs I see to the bottom right?
ReplyDeleteYes table and chairs though not really tiny. The tree is huge. It even makes our very large house look like a cottage.

Crikey. Now you have me worried, anything to do with trees costs a fortune.
