As with most new builds our house and garden is a little bit… stark. The garden (north facing) is just a square of turf with no shade and is pretty overlooked so we’ve been thinking about putting 2-3 trees in to offer some shade and some cover for birds. Ideally I’d like UK (semi) native fruiting trees like damson, crabapple or apple. And we’d plant them outside our garden along the grass verge (also part of our property) where the cherry(?) tree is.
However my mum (who’s just been doing a load of tree planting in her village) says we aren’t allowed and that there are a load of rules about not planting fruit trees next to roads, liability insurance etc etc… what’s the deal, what can we plant and what can’t we plant?
