That is a beautiful tree..... very hard to resist!
I love all the options and picture above as well. No matter what you end up going with in that selection it will be stunning.
Lighting is perfect!
Thank you! I think I'm overthinking it all - hahaha. Me, overthinking???
Also, I forgot to add we were told by the paint shop not to paint. Even this whole week which has virtually no rain forecast. Reason being, it's too cold. We need the temp to hit 16 or 17 for at least 4 hours of the day unless we want the paint to slide off - or potential bubbling in summer. I'm not sure where that leaves us, as this is Melbourne, and it's practically Winter.
Some nice plant choices there... I would recommend not to plant Nandina ... it tends to get way out of control and is a nightmare to get rid of..
Roses would look great up there
