| Description | Cedrela sinensis (syn. Toona sinensis)
Also known as the Chinese Toon Tree, this fabulous feature tree is fast and narrow growing, making it perfect for tight spaces.
• Bright pink new growth in the spring, making it stand out from everything else
• Leaves gradually fade from pink to cream and finally to green
• Grows best in moist, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade | Robinia pseudoacacia Frisia
Golden Robinia has beautiful yellow Spring leaves which deepen in colour to a fresh lime-yellow during Summer, then turn golden-yellow in Autumn, before falling.
A visual standout amongst other trees, this Robinia tree is an all round tough plant suitable for many different landscape uses. Whether as a magnificent specimen or a street tree in polluted and industrial areas, it grows with vigor and strength. | Ginkgo biloba
The Ginkgo or Maidenhair Tree is remarkably known as a 'living fossil', as it is the sole survivor of an ancient group of trees that date back to beyond the time of the dinosaurs. It is a perfect specimen or feature tree due to its long life and showy light green leaves which turn golden in Autumn. The leaves are an interesting ruffled shape.
The Maidenhair Tree remains virtually unchanged today and represents the only living bridge between 'higher' and 'lower' plants (between ferns and conifers). Maidenhair trees can be extremely long-lived, the oldest recorded individual being 3,500 years old. |
