Hedera Colchica Sulphur Heart Ivy Paddy's Pride Persian Ivy

Hedera Colchica Sulphur Heart, also known as Ivy Sulphur Heart and Ivy Paddy’s Pride and also Persian Ivy, is a self-clinging evergreen climber valued for its variegated foliage and exceptional hardiness. Large and vigorous, this striking climber is perfect for covering walls or camouflaging bare patches of land as a ground cover plant.The evergreen, variegated foliage of this ivy cultivar offers multiple seasons of interest. The dark green leaves with a central streak of golden yellow are ovate and quite large when compared to other Ivy varieties, reaching up to 20 centimetres in length. Fully mature specimens of this evergreen climber have insignificant, spherical, green flowers. In the winter, the inconspicuous flowers are replaced by discreet clusters of black berries, which attract birds and pollinators.Ivy Sulphur Heart thrives in full sun to partial shade.

The ideal location for Ivy Paddy’s Pride is definitely a sun-facing wall, where this large climber can spread undisturbed and a show of its spectacular golden-green foliage. A Middle East native, Hedera Colchica Sulphur Heart is well known as a robust, tough climber. Fully hardy in Britain and Ireland (hence the nickname Paddy’s Pride), this cultivar can survive even when the temperatures drop to -15 degrees. Much more rugged than most Ivy varieties, Sulphur Heart is relatively resistant to pest and diseases. As a testimony to its good constitution, this vigorous climber received the prestigious Award of Garden Merit by Royal Horticultural Society.A self-clinging climber, this plant has aerial roots, that enable it to cling easily to the surface beneath it. With a quick growth rate, this vigorous climber can grow up to be 4 to 8 metres high and up to 4 metres wide in just a few years. To keep Ivy Sulphur Heart tidy and in perfect shape, occasionally trim the overgrown and unwanted shoots. With a year-round interest and spectacular, variegated foliage, Hedera Colchica Sulphur Heart is a vigorous climber that’s ideal for hiding unseemly walls or for cottage gardens, where climbing ivy is the essential part of the charm.

Pterocarya Fraxinifolia Caucasian Wingnut Caucasian Walnut

Pterocarya Fraxinifolia Caucasian Wingnut Caucasian Walnut

The Caucasian Wingnut tree, botanically known as Pterocarya Fraxinifolia, is a large, fast growing deciduous tree suitable for big spaces. It is native to Eastern Turkey and Iran but was introduced to Britain in the 1780s, taking to the climate and growing conditions well.In spring the Caucasian Wingnut tree buds out its mid-green pinnate leaves which are exceedingly large - sometimes measuring up to 60cms in length with 19-21 pointed leaves each measuring 15cms. These leaves often cause confusion with Ash trees as they are the same shape, however Caucasian Wingnut is actually a member of the walnut family. In late spring small green flowers in hanging racemes of 50cms long attract pollinators in an unusually large display. These small flowers develop into the wingnut seeds that are loved by children as they abundantly helicopter to the ground in early autumn along with its rich yellow foliage. During winter the fissured bark and strong branching framework adds interest and texture to an empty garden. Often wingnut seeds remain on the tree, draping through its branches and swaying in the winter winds.Height and spread of Pterocarya FraxinifoliaThis is a large tree that will reach 17-22 metres in height and spread over 8 within 20-50 years depending on soil conditions.

It will grow in sheltered and exposed areas, but as the tree becomes established you will need to stake it firmly against rocking winds. Young specimens need regular watering and mulching too. No pruning is required, but you can cut out dead or crossed branches in winter. Some suckers may appear in spring, and these can be cut back easily if you don’t want them.Pterocarya Fraxinifolia is not often spotted in UK gardens but its unusual foliage, flowers and fruits make it highly desirable if you have room. Larger gardens in need of a focal point can’t go wrong with the quirky and low maintenance Pterocarya Fraxinifolia.

Acer Negundo Box Elder Tree Mature Trees for Sale Online UK

 Acer Negundo Box Elder TreeThe Acer Negundo, commonly called the Box Elder tree, is a type of maple tree. It is exceptionally hardy and tough. Box Elder trees often grow where other trees fail such as in bottomlands and areas that frequently flood. It is native to much of the United States and commonly found growing prolifically along streambanks and around other bodies of water. The Box Elder Tree is a popular, fast growing bushy headed mid to large sized deciduous tree. We sell these specimens as mature trees. The foliage of the Acer Negundo features pinnate leaves that have five to nine leaflets. Each leaflet measures up to 10 centimeters in length and 7 centimeters in width. The top sides of the leaves are a bright green and the undersides are a shade lighter. The margins of the leaves are slightly serrated. The new growth shoots of the Box Elder are ornamental and appear a bright, mint green. They often also feature a light white, purple, or pink coating when young. In the early spring, nondescript flowers appear that droop in racemes that measure up to 20 centimeters in length. Following flowering, seeds develop. The seeds are slender samaras that measure about 2 centimeters in length and grow in clusters. Many people think that the clusters of seeds resemble a bunch of keys hanging on a key ring. Only female trees produce the seed clusters. During the autumn months, the seeds provide visual interest until they drop from the tree. The tree's autumn colours are either bright yellow in areas with cold winters or a more bronze-orange in regions with mild winters. The Box Elder tree grows rapidly to a height of almost 25 metres with a canopy width of equal proportion which makes it an ideal shade choice. It is also commonly used in shelterbelts or to stabilize flood-prone areas such as along rivers. The diameter of the Acer Negundo’s trunk is relatively slender and rarely exceeds 50 centimeters in diameter. These trees are sold root-balled with a multi-stem shape or form. The several trunks can form a virtually impenetrable barrier when fully grown.Plant the Box Elder in full sun for best growth. Ideally, it should receive at least six hours of sun or more per day. Although this tree is stalwart and succeeds where very few other trees will survive, it still requires good care to establish a strong root system. It should be planted in an area that provides it with plenty of room to grow to its full potential.If you are seeking a tenacious tree that adapts to a variety of situations, then look no further than the Acer Negundo. Its rapid growth and ability to tolerate adverse conditions makes it a perfect low maintenance shade tree choice. See also Acer Negundo Kelly's Gold and Acer Negundo Flamingo.

Aesculus Hippocastanum Horse Chestnut Tree Multi Stemmed

Aesculus Hippocastanum Horse Chestnut Tree Multi Stemmed

Aesculus Hippocastanum Horse Chestnut TreeAesculus Hippocastanum, more commonly known as Common Horse Chestnut, is widely recognised as the conker tree. It is native to the Balkans, but has become well-established in the UK since its introduction in the late 16th century. The Horse Chestnut is named for the horse-shoe shaped scar its fallen leaves make on the twig. In turn this led to the belief that ground up conkers could relieve respiratory problems in horses. Smooth dark brown conkers are not the sole reason to choose this stunning deciduous tree because it also has beautiful spring flowers which are some of the most ornamental in late spring to early summer.  In May to June creamy-white flowers burst through in upright panicles with each individual flower containing up to five fringed petals that gradually mature into a pinky-red at the base. In September, if the flowers are pollinated, they develop into the green-spiked casings that contain its fruit – the legendary conker. Throughout the summer the Common Horse Chesnut has a broad canopy of large, easily recognisable palmate leaves that hang from a central stem. The leaves are grouped into five to seven fingered ‘palms’ which turn yellow-brown in autumn and begin to fall as the temperatures change. Autumnal leaf fall leaves behind a solid structural framework in winter.Height and Spread of Aesculus HippocastanumThis is a large tree and really only suitable for a large garden. It can reach heights of 30 metres and spread over eight metres.How Hardy Is Aesculus HippocastanumThis is a fully hardy tree in all of the UK, it can withstand sub zero temperatures, some drought and exposed locations.How To Use Aesculus HippocastanumThe Aesculus Hippocastanum needs plenty of room to grow, so it is best suited to large gardens as a specimen in the lawn. These specific trees have been trained as multi-stemmed with several upright branches rather than one main leader. This gives more a wild and natural appearance making it suitable for wildlife and informal gardens. In summer the dense foliage provides privacy and noise reduction, but it not suitable for under planting because the foliage unfurls early in the year and cuts out light. It goes without saying that the Horse Chestnut is a great tree for children who universally love collecting and playing with conkers that fall in late summer to autumn.How To Care For Aesculus HippocastanumLittle care is needed by this tough and beautiful tree, it happily tolerates all soils and does not require pruning, although you can remove the lower branches to let in light as it matures. Your Common Horse Chestnut will be delivered root-balled ready for immediate planting. New specimens will require water until they are established, and in early spring a thick layer of mulch around the base will boost its health and vitality.If you’re looking for an instantly recognisable low maintenance tree with beautiful flowers the Aesculus Hippocastanum is a great choice – it is one of the most floral and attractive trees and produces family-friendly conkers.

Populus Nigra Italica Black Poplar Italica Lombardy Poplar

Populus Nigra Italica, Black Poplar Italica or Lombardy PoplarSynonymous with Populus Nigra Pyramidalis, Black Poplar Italica is a large, deciduous tree, appreciated for its elegant form. With a narrow, columnar habit, this elegant cultivar is often used to form a tall screen.The Lombardy Poplar is a male clone, meaning it will produce only decorative catkins and there will be no seeds that would litter your garden. Appearing on tree in the spring, the catkins are a lovely, deep red shade. The foliage unfolds soon after, and the medium green, ovate leaves retain their colour until they drop.Populus Nigra Italica is a cultivar that naturally occurs on forest margins, fields, and boggy lowlands. As such, when grown in the garden, this ornamental tree prefers humus-rich, fertile soils that are moist but well-drained. It thrives in full sun, both in sheltered and exposed locations. When planting this cultivar, make sure to choose a spot that is not near any buildings on your property, as its vigorous and shallow root system can cause problems in the long run.First discovered in the 18th century, in northern Italy, Black Poplar Italica originated as a single specimen. Now widely distributed across Europe and beyond, this fastigiate tree is fully hardy in the United Kingdom. It will withstand even severe winter temperatures and it is not bothered by frosts.

Cydonia Oblonga Vranja Quince Vranja Fruiting Quince Trees

Cydonia Oblonga Vranja Quince Vranja Fruiting Quince Trees

Cydonia Oblonga Vranja or Quince Vranja, is a beautiful single variety quince that produces sweet-smelling flowers and large showy fragrant fruit, golden-yellow when ripe. The RHS has given Vranja the Award of Garden Merit. A small deciduous fruit tree, Quince Vranja is a popular choice for its strong, upright habit. Its leaves are grey-green with a fluffy texture beneath, and they turn an attractive buttery yellow before falling in autumn. Beautiful pale pink flowers appear in May. They are bowl-shaped and showy measuring up to 5 cm across. These blooms turn into the pale green fruits that gradually sun-ripen into golden-yellow quince in late autumn. They are extremely fragrant and attractive fruits. How Hardy Is Cydonia Oblonga Vranja?Quince are native to south-western Asia and are particularly abundant in Iran and Serbia. This means they are used to harsh, cold winters and hot summers. Although this is a hardy shrub that will tolerate wet and cold conditions of the UK, during early spring the flowers are susceptible to late frosts.How To Use Cydonia Oblonga VranjaThis is the best variety of quince to fan train against a sunny wall, but it can also be grown as a shrub or small tree. Although most gardeners grow quince for the edible fruit, they are decorative and fragrant enough to provide a focal point from spring to late autumn. The versatile Quince Vranja looks stunning as a stand-alone shrub in an ornamental lawn, as part of a deep flower border, or trained against a wall. It will reach a maximum height of four metres and similar spread, but this will take ten to twenty years depending on growing conditions. Cydonia Oblonga Vranja is self fertile, but several quince of a different variety means chances of pollination, and therefore fruit, are even greater. How To Care For Cydonia Oblonga VranjaThis is a tough quince but warm conditions are needed to maximise fruit ripening, so choose a sunny spot for your Quince Vranja. Quince will tolerate most soils preferring moisture tentative, but not water-logged.  A thick layer of well -rotted manure in early spring will help produce fruit and keep it healthy.  Little pruning is required, but if you are fan-training tie back stems and cut out any forward growing or damaged shoots in late winter or early spring.
