Even smaller gardens can be enhanced with a feature tree providing it is chosen carefully. Select one for its foliage, shape, blossom, berries, or even the texture of its bark.
Being a specialist plant nursery, we are always on the lookout for unusual trees, shrubs, and plants. Consequently, we stock one of the largest ranges you will find anywhere.
Some species of tree have been selectively bred for their striking leaf shape. Good examples include the Maple family, which also provide dramatic autumn colour.
Amongst our selections, we also stock Ash, Larch, Robinia, Hawthorn, Hazel, Walnut, Liquidambar and Flowering Crab.
Specimen trees could be columnar shaped or have a weeping habit, such as the striking Laburnum with its long yellow pendulous sprays of flowers in May or June.

The sight of a fine Cherry tree in full blossom in early spring never fails to lift the spirits and herald the promise of spring.
Our range of trees will enable you to have blossom almost any month of the year. The Prunus family (Cherry, Almond, Peach, Apricot, or Plum) are all great choices and if you have the bonus of fruit, they'll taste good as well!
Probably the most well known family of trees for their leaf colour, the Acers (Maples, including the Sycamore) have tremendous variety and beautiful summer and autumn colour.
For larger plots, consider the Birch with its graceful habit, attractive bark and delicate, fluttering, diamond shaped leaves (turning yellow in autumn). Another common favourite is the Beech, with its copper leaved varieties, though these require a lot of space
The blue-green, rounded, waxy young foliage of Eucalyptus gunnii makes it a popular choice and it can be pruned back each spring to keep it small, or allowed to grow naturally to eventually become a graceful 40ft+ tree.
