Thanks again.

I think we only went off what the people from the place we bought it from said. There was a large almond tree there prior to it, but it collapsed in a big storm a few years ago now.

It’s miles away from our house (the building you can see close to it is our shed). There is a laneway behind the fence that it close to it, and the neighbour’s large backyard after that. But I can see your point. As I stated, we certainly aren’t gardeners at all – more feathered & furry people – that’s why I wanted the tree, because I investigated online and it recommended it being good for wildlife.

We had good intentions :-(
