We’re almost at the end of bare-root and rootball season and we have already sold out of a lot of our hedging stock. We do however, have a few of our large rootballed trees left and these are a few of our favourites.

Carpinus Betulus Pyramidalis – this Hornbeam is similar to the upright form, Carpinus Fastigiata, but grown specifically in a pyramid shape.

We have these in standard form, with a 1.8m clear stem and 20-25cm girth, total height is approximately 5metres.

There are numerous species of these evergreen shrubs, but the most commonly grown are Camellia sasanqua, Camellia japonica, and hybrids of these. The young leaves of another species, Camellia sinensis, are actually used to make tea, which lets face it, we would be lost without these days!

Camellia japonica flowers in late winter and early spring, while Camellia sasanqua blooms in autumn and winter, both bringing welcome injections of colour and fragrance.
