Thru decking display / shade tree

    3 responses

Fatenhappy starts with ...
Hi .... We live on the canals at Bribie Island SEQ and are just about to start a large 6m square deck at the rear of the house that will be probably 5 meters from the rear of the home Itself. I am wanting to grow a tree right through the decking itself from the ground that will be underneath. I should imagine we will creat a large mound immediately under a section of the deck to facility the trees requirements. I have been trying to narrow down a canopy tree 15 plus metres that we could use and then thought of a grafted mango. I would appreciate your thought or for that matter or alternatives that you would consider suitable .... Thanks Greg Saunders (0423357554)

Sounds like a great idea although I can't comment on whether a grafted mango would be the best tree. Would you have a problem with fallen fruit, bat poop, etc? You are right of course to seek comments from others because it will be a job to change the tree later on. Good luck!

Great question, I used to build decks and always wanted a customer to request that.
I know that a Black bean will grow well by the canal.
Your looking for interesting bark and a non white sap tree (Mango is sappy)
Lychee?
Pecan?
Neem?
Some trees spred naturaly and some you will need to crown to get the spred.
Good luck, Im sure others will have there thoughts.

Native frangipani...hmnn..beautifully shaped tree and the smell of the flowers are divine..!

I also think my kwai muk (Artocarpus) is a very handsome naturally shaped tree too...very dark bark and deep green odd shaped leaves...

Poinciana is another with a beautiful canopy - but it is deciduous...
