Description

Prunus cerasifera nigra

Black Cherry Plum or Purple Leaf Plum is is a beautiful round ornamental, flowering plum with very dark purple summer foliage. Fluffy pink flowers make a spectacular display in spring and the purple foliage a striking contrast tree for smaller gardens. Loves full sun (it will give the foliage the best colour possible) and likes to be nestled in fertile well draining soil. Grows approximately H: 5 Meters W: 4 Meters

Choisya ternata

Mexican Orange Blossom is so named as it's flowers are of a similar nature and scent to an orange tree! The foliage is a mid to light green and is covered with masses of scented white flowers through Spring and Summer. This attractive shrub will grow to approx. 1.5 - 2m, but is happy to be clipped to suit. As a result it can be also used as a hedge or screen. It is best grown in full sun or part shade and is reasonably frost tolerant.
