Trees
are in your garden for a substantial amount of time
so it is important to choose correctly as regards
eventual height and width to which they might grow. They
may be grown for their leaf, flower, shape or
what species of bird and animal life they will
attract and will provide some much needed shade
in the summer. We can offer a selection of trees
for smaller gardens such as Acer, Birch, Willow,
Crab Apple and Cherry
to name, a few. We also have a selection of fruit
trees, just right for that fresh, just picked
of the tree taste like the Victoria plum, Laxton's
Superb or Cherry; and what about a Grape Vine or
even a Fig to tempt your growing skills.

Conifers
Compared with many garden plants conifers are
fairly trouble-free, as long as they are kept
moist and perhaps given a bit of mulching each spring
they are very reliable. They are mainly
evergreen and can offer a valuable all-year-round
display. We have a wide range to choose from,
the larger growing varieties such as Cypress,
Yew and Juniper which can provide attractive columnar
shapes to accentuate an entrance or the Leylandii
for a fas growing hedge. Then we have the dwarf
types like Pinus Mugo and the Piceas, which
fit neatly into a rockery or container. To compliment
the conifer, heathers naturally associate well. Both can be grown in beds and borders.
We can offer a number of attractive varieties
of Calluna and Erica types. |
