well it had to be done but I am sad...
my Lace bark has gone.
I had it chopped down, better now before it got any bigger.
I loved that tree, it was just an all round winner - foliage, form & stunning flowers with a honey scent.
And it was either self sown or some plonker planted it it the most inappropriate spot.
Hard up against the fence where it would have eventually crowded my neighbours house & it was already shedding leaves into their guttering.

I do have a seedling from it - & if I can nurture it along will plant it in a better spot so I can once more enjoy it's loveliness.
