Araucaria araucana

Monkey Puzzle 3 litre plants 40cm tall ■☻җ җ

A rare and sought after tree not often seen for sale. A slow growing ornamental evergreen tree from mountain areas in Chile, it has a unique spiralling arrangement of triangle leaves on long “monkey tail” like branches. Perfect for small gardens for many years due to its slow growth. Mature trees reach 100ft and produce giant seed cones that contain edible nuts. (Takes about 100 years to mature to produce fruit so don’t hold your breath!) Anyone living around the Wembley area may have seen mature trees in Victorian gardens; these were grown on my great grandfather’s nursery from imported seed and planted by my landscaping grandfather.

Manchurian Catalpa 1 litre plants 12" tall■☻җ җ җ

A slightly smaller tree than bignonioides from northern China, but just as hardy with the added attraction that the flowers are a delicate pink. Large heart shaped green leaves for tropical effect. These are 2 year old plants for sale from 2006 seeds at about 2ft tall.

Handkerchief Tree - Good plants in 3 litre pots 2ft to 3ft tall ■☻җ җ җ

A stunning tree that I have persevered with for about 15 years and in 2004 it came up trumps with an absolutely fabulous display of flowers that I could not stop taking pictures of. Originating from a remote area of China this is a rare small tree that needs to be more widely grown and very suitable for medium sized gardens. We now for the first time have a few small plants for sale.

Phalaris arundinacea Feesey

Gardeners Garters 3 litre pots 12" tall ■☻җ җ җ

A 3ft bright green and white foliage grass with a strongly rhizomatous habit. Ribbon grass makes a problem-free ground cover without being too invasive. ‘Feesey’ differs from the normal form ‘Picta’ in that it has a pink tinge to the early foliage, fading as the leaves mature. ‘Feesey’ also has improved variegation with a lot more white content to the foliage than ‘Picta’.

Phormium Amazing Red

New Zealand Flax with dark purple/black leaves, 3 litre plants 12" tall ■☻җ җ

A small Phormium with slender leaves of a deep purple black. It makes a very useful container plant where black foliage is required for a striking contrast.

Phormium Yellow Wave

JP741

New Zealand Flax with strong Yellow variegation, 5 litre plants 2ft tall ■☻җ җ

Phormiums are excellent plants for the patio pot or bedding in a sheltered location. This particular form is one of the best I have seen for yelow/green display. Hardy in many parts of the country apart from cold exposed positions.
