There is one other scenario in which some homeowners, espeâ€" cially of newlyâ€"purchased resale homes, may find themselves. In this situation, new homeowners buy a resale home because they like the house, but they do not like the garden. The property, often overgrown with shrubs and small trees, may also be dominatâ€" ed by one or several huge trees which allows limited choice in garden planning â€" a shade or woodland planting. While such a planting may be popular with some, it will not be with those who wish to grow a wide range of If the older tree is still present, and either in decline indicating it will not be around for too many more years, or even if it or several such older specimens appear to be growing well, it is not too early to consider planting at least one new, smaller tree to take over when the larger one(s) succumb. In such cases, by planting now, the younger, smaller tree or trees are able to be well established and achieve some impressive growth before it is necessary to remove the older specimens. tree in the same spot or near the trunk of the older one. However, before planting there, it is wise to consider if there is a better spot at which to site a new tree, or trees as replacement(s). The answer to all of these variations of the same problem, according to the Canadian Garâ€" den Council, is planting new smaller trees. In the case of homes which have lost huge trees recently, the space left open alâ€" lows for the planting of a smaller On many other properties, ownâ€" ers see their maple, birch, or even elm in a state of decline, and realize it is not going to be there to shade them much longer. Still other home owners have a properâ€" ty with many large trees which do not allow enough sun through to grow any vegetables, or even other than a shady flower garden. Their dilemma is how to get more sun, yet still have some trees on the property for shade in specific areas such as the patio or deck. Many owners of older homes in cities across Canada are facing a problem with shade trees, or they have a large open space where a large tree once stood. In some cases, older trees such as elms or huge sugar maples have died and owners, though they would like to have another tree, realize they don‘t want one that will grow as large as the original one now Treeplanting tips TSHME *‘ & PAGE 24 â€" WATERLOO CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, choice is wide, and all possibiliâ€" ties should be considered. The Canadian Garden Council recommends a visit to your favorâ€" ite garden centre or nursery for advice on which of the smaller trees are hardy in your area, and which of those are the most suitable for your own individual conditions and needs. There is a great variation in what are commonly â€" called ‘"smaller trees." Generally, many horticulturists might consider anything from white beam mounâ€" tain ash (Sorbus aria), which grows to a height of ten metres (35 ft.), down to a weeping mulâ€" berry, which will never exceed three to four metres (10â€"12 ft.), as a dwarf or ornamental tree. The The next stop should be a local garden centre for further advice. Before narrowing your choice you should consider just what type of tree you wish. Factors to consider include the ultimate size, shape of the head, growth habit (upright, weeping, globe), how fast the growth is, special features such as unusual foliage color, flowers, Autumn _ coloration, whether fruits are edible by birds, and whether the shade cast is just what your garden needs. roses, lilies and other sunâ€"lovers. The answer here is to remove virtually all of the old existing garden â€" including the huge old shade trees, regardless of their condition. While this may appear to be committing a sin in view of all the publicity regarding the need to plant more trees, homeâ€" owners who do this will actually be planting more trees and shrubs than they are removing. And, the Canadian Garden Counâ€" cil points out that they will be planting for the future, for in most cases the new plants will b; helping to purify our air an moderate our climate long after the old shade trees have died. However, it takeall great deal of thought and soulâ€"searching beâ€" fore proceeding. In each of these cases the answer is to plant one or several trees and the time to plant is this autumn. In the last several decades, the choice of smallerâ€"growing shade trees has improved substantially. Before deciding which tree to plant, the Canadian Garden Council sugâ€" gests visiting a local arboretum, city parks, university campus, show/display garden, or even a public cemetery to view some of the trees that grow well in your location. vegetables, and flowers such as â€"â€" BLINDS eg After Sale Price in Effect s XCOET JA LASS CS l -mp.\m_v.pu ReS C Sm \ se ns 44 R2P _ * {L the paint and paper people S\ with this ad Offer expires Oct. 23/90 _ 199 v‘\c" r/\: "a ‘5::'.: 3909 BUY INâ€"STOCK 1"" ALUMINUM VENETIAN BLINDS OVR VERY BEST!
