Our neighbour's tree is pretty in Spring but fairly inconspicuous the rest of the year, when the leaves revert to green.
The problem is, it suckers and is planted too close to our driveway wall and damage is beginning to show.
There have been discussions over solutions, but nothing has been done yet.
I've been told it's not my problem to worry about, so I'll just enjoy the pretty leaf colour while it lasts.

Oh dear, that doesn't look too good for the wall. Never mind, you've been told it's not your problem so run with that and just enjoy the beauty of the tree while it lasts :)
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is pretty. I hope it doesn't have to be removed
ReplyDeleteOur neighbour has huge shrubs and a tree planted next to our low boundary wall, in the front of our house, she does nothing with them, we are all the time cutting it back, if not we would lose huge chunks of our usable space. The council made her cut back the section along the public path, but that's growing back again.
ReplyDeleteIt us pretty...I had never heard of them. It is too bad that it is too close.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I 'd hope the neighbor would be taking care of that...unless they want to make repairs to the retaining wall! Hoping it gets resolved for you...as the saying goes, it's always something. The colors are lovely, very pretty welcome to spring!
ReplyDeleteIt is very pretty! Too back it likes to throw suckers:(
ReplyDeleteGreat blog
ReplyDeleteTrees that develop suckers can be quite a problem. In the meanwhile all you can do is admire its pink leaves.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty tree in spring, a pity it suckers. Its leaves look similar to Rhus typhina, which also suckers prolifically here but I see from Wiki that yours is native to Asia and is used a lot in Chinese medicine and the other hails from North America.
