(Guide
to planting)
| Ornamental
Trees: from £12.49
Trees
for the modern garden should be grown on dwarf rootstock to
prevent them growing to their full potential.
There is a great variety of Trees available nowadays to suit
all tastes and every garden should have some.
Trees vary in price quite a bit and may seem expensive but
there is a lot of work in growing trees, particularly in
the
grafting.
Once established Trees require virtually no maintenance other
than feeding.
Some of the more popular
Trees are:
The Rowan Tree:
There are new varieties of this old favourites with
coloured berries other than the usual red.
The
Ornamental Cherry:
With
their pink flowers in spring these are still a great favourite,
particularly the weeping ones.
Acers:
Have
lovely foliage
which changes colour in the Autumn and can be quite spectacular.
The Kilmarnock Willow:
This weeping Tree with it's yellow catkins is probably
the most popular Tree. |

Fruit
Trees:
from £19.99
Fruit
trees are worth considering even in a small garden - nothing
beats the freshness of home grown fruit.
Apples
Trees:
Apples
are the most popular but take care in choosing - Apples Trees
are not self pollinating.
Two Apple trees, preferably of different varieties are needed
to cross pollinate one another.
The rule is that the two varieties chosen must flower at about
the same time or they can't pollinate one
another - so check
if the two varieties you are interested in are in the same
flowering period.
The two Trees don't have to be in the same garden - if one
of your neighbours has an Apple Tree it will
pollinate yours
if they flower at the same time.
All the Apple Trees that we sell are in the same flowering
group.
Other Fruit
Trees: worth considering
are:
Plum
Eating Cherry
