| Description | Betula pendula youngii 'Weeping Silver Birch'
The Grafted Weeping Birch is a beautiful small and compact weeping deciduous tree that takes the classic look of a Silver Birch and doubles the appeal. Excellent for small gardens, this is an incredibly graceful weeping tree with lovely white spotted bark, golden Autumn foliage and a compact size.
The Grafted Weeping Birch can either be pruned in late Autumn to create a more formal umbrella shape, or its branches left to weep right down to the ground. Grafted trees feature a lush bushy head on a straight trunk. They do not grow much taller than the height they are grafted at, instead getting fuller in head and trunk as they mature.
24" pot size, approximately 6ft in height, with a thicker more advanced trunk. | Nerium oleander 'Madoni Grandiflorum' (White Oleander)
Nerium oleander is a bushy, evergreen shrub that grows thickly and quickly in almost any conditions. It has long, slim leaves and bright, star-shaped, open,creamy/white flowers. Its dense bushy fast-growing nature lends itself well to hedging - but ensure you plant rows of the same variety as they have different foliage characteristics.
The Oleander has suffered from poor press over the years and that is a great shame for it is a tough beautiful shrub which should come into to its own in these new drought filled years. The plants easily cope by the seaside, not seeming to be worried with salt laden air; in arid hot conditions, and even where the drainage is poor.
CAUTION: It is poisonous nature, containing glycocytes, which means that animals won't touch it - but it takes large quantities to poison humans - and it tastes so awful you'd have to be determined or raving mad! There are no recorded cases of serious poisoning for humans.
