| Description | Betula pendula 'Dalecarlica'
The Cut-Leaf Birch is a very graceful tree with distinctive feathery foliage and fine white bark. It is slender and graceful enough to be a part of a small garden without appearing too dominant, and is also effective in larger areas planted alone or in groups. A moderate growing and medium sized tree, ideal for either a small garden setup or even a larger forest-like vista, this tree will grow well in most soils in a sunny to part shade position. A beautiful specimen tree not to be looked over!
10"/25cm pot size | Brassica oleracea
Broccoli Purple Sprouting is a common delicious vegetable rich in fibre, vitamins and minerals with purple coloured heads! Plant in full sun with well worked soil.
4"/10cm pot | Quercus robur
English Oaks are famous for being solid and strong. The trunk and secondary branches are very solid and are covered in thick blackish-grey bark which makes it quite a sight.
The autumn foliage is a rich, dark brown. As the foliage is smaller than other deciduous trees, fallen leaves are not particularly difficult to eliminate and will not clog drains.
10"/25cm pot | Lagerstroemia indica x fauriei 'Sioux'
'Sioux' Crepe Myrtles are tough, small trees that offer attractive bark, masses of medium musk pink flowers in summer and good yellow-orange autumn colours. One of the most popular hardy small trees around.
Crepe Myrtles are adaptable to most conditions, suitable for small gardens or amenity areas and can be a very effective street tree. | Banksia marginata 'Silver Banksia'
A classic woody native Australian shrub, Banksias are great for a low maintenance garden and create interest with their recognizable flower cones. Silver Banksias will grow to the size of a large shrub and and good for screening. They're also great for coastal areas, as they're naturally found by the sea and tolerate sand and salt.
