Comments (10)Thanks everyone for all the input, I have confirmed with the owner today who says they are Manchurian Pears. As stunning as they are I am not sure they are the right choice for where I want them....I want a row of autum colour/spring blossom (ideally soft pink) with lush green leaves in summer. The garden bed is about 1.2 m deep and 16 metres length, colour bond fence will be behind trees. On the other side of the future fenceline on the adjoining block is a sewer easement apparently large concrete pipe... so want to be mindful of invasive roots. Also what I like about these trees is the rounder shape with the " sticky outward" type branches rather than capital pears which seem to have branches more upright. Suggestions given these criteria? Thx for all the input..I love this site!!...See MoreHow do I bring this house to life?
Comments (19)The house itself looks perfectly good to me and I don't think you have to do too much. It has a natural long hut look with the emphasis on the horizontal and nice big windows. The things throwing that look off are the verticals in the colour bond fence and the railings on the front porch. Perhaps the fence - could be set back further down the side wall and be a horizontal narrow slat timber fence with some nice plantings in front of it suggested above. The window frames are nice and big and could be picked out in a another colour. White perhaps if you leave the brick as is? Similarly blend the front porch into the horizontal. Rather than just curtains in your windows perhaps a layer of venetians or shutters which will allow light and air in but maintain your privacy? Visually they will add to the street appeal and the horizontal theme. [You can keep your curtains for night time warmth and insulation and open the house up during the day?] Leave the roof it's fine - I think apart from that it's all about the lovely plantings suggested?

Comments (9)I planted a row of five Manchurian Pear trees along my front boundary and love their changes through the seasons. They are very hardy once established and are often used as street trees for their hardiness and good scale for a nature strip. Beautiful red/orange foilage in autumn, white blossums in spring, and lush green foilage in summer provides good shade. They look great as a single tree, a group of three, or a row of five trees. Best of luck, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls....See MoreWhich trees to use near front fence?
Comments (6)I love all natives but the Lilly Pilly standards are not the right choice for along the front fence (fine along the path to the door). They don’t grow any taller and your two story house needs some green growth and height. My native choice would be a dwarf eucalyptus ficifolia....See More

8 years agoNew house for us this season so lots of surprises. The fruit trees will be so happy about this Easter rain. This pic is if the old grapevine on our verandah that looked so lush and beautiful when we bought the place but is now creating piles of dead leaves!

New England is known for its glorious fall colors. These were taken nearby in fall 2015.

8 years agoWell, we've had a lot of warm weather and rain in Sydney, so my Autmn garden is providing me with an abundance of Asian flavours which I've been using to make marinades and curries..

beautiful colours. Still no frosts here, although an Inverell patient reported their first frost yesterday morning. We usually have frosts here by Anzac Day, so they are very delayed.
