Get Ready for Spring/Summer Flowering

Winter is a great time to think about how you want your garden to look like in the height of spring and summer. These selections are proven winners for flowering in the warmer months.

	Arbutus unedo Irish Strawberry Tree We believe this tree to be underutilised in the landscape particularly as a street tree where its 7m mature height makes it suitable for planting under power lines. It looks great in the home garden too particularly when in flower. Flowers are a mix of pink and cream and grow in bunches like miniature bells. Its dark green foliage have a decorative serrated edge making this an all-round beautiful tree. We have good numbers in 40cm/27L, 50cm/52L and 100L bags.
	Magnolia grandiflora 'Teddy Bear' ™ Teddy Bear Magnolia (evergreen) This is a beautiful evergreen Magnolia growing to 4m with rounded and cup shaped leaves that are held tightly on the tree. This makes the tree denser in appearance. The leaves are glossy with a soft furry underside. As expected with evergreen magnolias, it produces gloriously large white flowers.

This is an attractive tree for parks, avenues and large gardens. We have only started growing this variety again so our size is limited to 30cm containers.
