FRAXINUS
angustifolia Variegata Sold out for 2002 |
| FRAXINUS mariesii (syn. FRAXINUS sieboldii) It is hard to believe this stunning small rounded tree or large shrub is actually an Ash. It is much slower growing than our familiar woodland friend, and doesn't get so big. The stunning flowers hang in creamy white panicles in June. Sold out for 2002 |

FREMONTODENDRON
Tequila Sunrise This wonderful new plant was bred here on the nursery when Nick crossed a rich orange form of Fremontodendron californicum with the large flowered bright yellow Fremontodendron Pacific Sunset. The result is a superb plant with distinctly more orange flowers than any you've seen before! The usual conditions for growing Fremontodendron are required - a sunny site with good drainage, usually against a south facing wall where you will be rewarded with a succession of magnificent flowers form May until November. £15.00 |
| GARRYA
issaquehensis Glasnevin Wine (G.elliptica x G.fremontii) A handsome evergreen producing long, rich coloured catkins with red bases to the green bracts and yellow anthers, in January-February. The extra colour gives the plant another dimension! Shelter of a wall is beneficial in cold or windier areas. This lovely plant is smaller in all its parts than the more commonly available forms of elliptica. from £10.60 |
|
| GARRYA
issaquehensis Pat Ballard This evergreen is easiest described as half way between G.Glasnevin Wine (above) and G.elliptica in that it is more vigorous and with less of the ruby tints of Glasnevin Wine. £15.00 |
|
| GINKGO biloba Supposedly the oldest surviving species of tree, with fossils dating back to prehistoric times. Technically a conifer, but deciduous with "leaves" rather than needles. The leaves are fan-shaped and undivided with stunning yellow autumn colour. My kids call it the "dinosaur plant" and love to collect the brightly coloured leaves in autumn. from £9.80 |
|
| GINKGO biloba Prostrata A low growing form with almost horizontal branches which is most unusual. Equally good autumn colour. Sold out for 2002 |
|
| GINKGO biloba Saratoga Smaller growing than the type and therefore more suitable for gardens! The leaves are long, narrow and deeply divided giving them a graceful appearance. A really lovely form, particularly in the autumn when it turns yellow. From £21.00 |

GINKGO biloba Variegata We imported our stock plants from Japan and it has taken several years for us to get it into production as it is very slow. We have been very careful to propagate from variegated shoots, so the resultant plants should have respectable colour. Best in light shade to prevent leaf scorch. Very slow growing. £21.00 |

GLEDITSIA triacanthos Emerald Cascade Our glorious stock plant has attracted so much favourable attention that we just had to offer it again. These plant are grafted at ground level. This means that any growth from the main trunk will also weep. If you prefer a clean stem, weeping from the top only, then it is a simple matter to remove side growth. By training up a leader to the desired height, you can achieve of precisely the height you require. The graceful frond like leaves turn a delightful yellow in autumn. Specimens Only at £48.00 |
| GRISELINIA
littoralis Green Jewel A delightful and extremely useful evergreen with subtle foliage variegated green through lime green to yellow. Hardier than most of the variegated forms, but much more interesting than the plain green, this tough shrub to 2m will tolerate exposure to salt winds. £8.50 |
