Ceanothus Tree

Postby justaskin » 21 Feb 2019, 17:41

I have just learnt that the life of a Ceanothus is only 12 to 15 years so mine is a old timer and I have just had to cut it down.
Has anyone tried turning or making it into veneer, or using it for anything. Or is it a case of a log burner.
Any information would be welcome.

All the ones I’ve grown are more like bushes, how big is yours? (Without the usual smutty jokes).

Hi Rod 8" diameter at base overall height some 9 foot. Last year had a wonderful floral display but then started deteriorating from about August, thats when I googled its life extent.
