Beautiful!

Ive left it alone this year, and its covered in tassles. Should look great in winter.

Looking forward to seeing that Dave 💚💚

Are these evergreen Dave?

@valjones-hughes yes val. They dont really give a lot in summer, but are great in winter, early spring.

Think this is going to look well this year rachel. I cut it back last summer, and nothjng, so ive left it this year, and its looking promising . @rachelbrooks

It’s looking fab Dave!! Gonna be loads of tassels by the look of it! 👍🏼👏🏼

Looks like my tassles are going to be back this winter. Tip to onesself. Dont prune in mid summer.

@johninbrighton 🤣🤣🤣😟

@rachelbrooks im not touching this, this year rachel, after pruning it in the summer last year, and getting no tassles at all 😪

Well hopefully it’ll reward you with plentiful tassels next year then Dave! 🤞🏼👍🏼 wonder if the heat last summer and then a mild winter also affected it 🤔 I’m sure it’ll be back to it’s fabulous self next spring!

Oh what a shame cos them tassels are amazing...🙁

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom they do look good elaine when everything else is sleeping. Hopefully they'll be back next year.

Lots of new growth on this. Wont be touching it thjs year. Pruned it in summer last year and no flowers at all 😭

No tassles yet 🤔

Ive let this do its own thing for the last 18 months. Its getting really big now .🤔

You could loose Frank in that !!

Just about at its best 😀

Looking good now.

How long do they last Dave...🤔 it’s very oriental..🏯⛩

Through till about march elaine @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Love this , does it do well in part shade Dave @davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co

Bit certainly does Marilyn, loves a sheltered spot. It's gets a bit of early morning sun, and late evening, and seems to like that @lovemygarden65

Starting to look good 😊

Is that a spaghetti tree ??? 😁😁😁

Love it....I love tassels 😉👍🏼

Yep charlotte very well spotted 😁 @charlotte

They are wonderful plants. I got a message from my M-in-Law this morning telling me hers has fallen over and uprooted with the weight of snow on it. It was 45 years old. She is heart broken. Hoping we might be able to resurrect it once the snow has gone...🤞🤞🤞

Hope its ok Jacqueline, must have had some snow on it !!! @awomanonabike

Fabulous 👍

Me too. I’ve not seen it but it was massive and they’ve had several inches I think - schools closed, roads closed, kind of amount ❄️❄️

Beautiful tree Dave love it 😍 sorry to hear about your mother in laws one Jacqueline hope you can rescue it 😳 @awomanonabike

Thanks Pauline. I hope so too, though she is already talking about planting a new one in a different part of her garden. @pauline33

Thankyou pauline, i hadnt got a clue what it was until i was told on here it was a nice tree. @pauline33

That's the brilliant thing about this app we are all learning from each other 😊❤️

Starting to look good 😊

Slowly coming good .😊

Looks great 😊👍

Doesnt seem to be doing quite so well this year.

They look like Christmas decorations ☺️

Still early for it yet Dave 👍🏼

#greensaturday slowly coming good .

That’s a nice shrub..! 😉

Just when a few things are showing signs of autumn. The silk tassel bush is just starting off 😊

Help me identify this plant. Any ideas on this.

That looks like a rather lovely Garrya Elliptica - silk tassel bush. Where is this Dave? It's a beauty 💚

@rachelbrooks its in my front garden Rachel. I nearly dug it up, but changed my mind.

😱😱😱 well I'm glad you did! It's fabulous 👍🏼 and if you change your mind and decide to dig it up, let me know...I'll be round to collect it! 😂😉👍🏼

Super specimen 👌😆
