Katsura Tree

Katsura Tree - Part of the Alan Titchmarsh Collection

Cercidiphyllum japonicum
 Customer Rating
 
  • RHS Award of Garden Merit
Don't be afraid of growing trees in your garden; they aren't all great big oaks and cedars. Cercidiphyllum certainly isn't. Enjoy its attractive foliage and see if you can decide what the leaves smell of. Is it toffee apple? Candy floss? Just mix a few bags of ericaceous compost into the soil on planting, and it'll virtually take care of itself. Height and spread: 10m (32').

Gleditsia triacanthos f. inermis 'Spectrum'

Small trees are useful in the garden, so add structure to your border with this handsome, yet manageable beauty. As the foliage of the honey locust tree emerges during spring, it’s the most intense golden colour. It changes to lime green as the season progresses, but keeps on glowing right through the summer. Thanks to its Australian origins, Gleditsia is drought resistant, thrives in sun and is very hardy too. Height and spread: 8m (26'). More info

Cherry 'Iford Flowering'

Prunus, Ornamental Cherry

  Customer Rating
A fantastic opportunity to plant this stunning, historic tree in your own garden! At the turn of the 19th century Harold Peto, architect and garden designer, found a small and completely pendulous pale shell pink flowering cherry on one of his plant collecting trips to the East. He named it the Iford Cherry and it was planted on the Iford terraces and trailed down the terrace banks and along the paths creating a truly magnificent sight by all accounts of the time. In 1999 the present owners of Iford Manor decided to propagate from the only surviving tree which by then had only one living branch which was no thicker than a pencil. Graft wood was taken and the tree died a few weeks later. Three trees were raised from the grafts and became the mother wood for the trees now for sale.

This delightful and historic tree is ideal for growing in a container or as a small tree in the garden. It flowers in early spring and has a marvellous bronze/red leaf colour during the Autumn. Decorative Tree Height to 1-1.5m. Flowers early April.

Crab Apple 'Royalty'

Crab Apple 'Royalty'

Malus
  • NEW in 2013
A particularly attractive tree, Crab Apple ‘Royalty’ is unmistakeable for its dark mahogany foliage that turns to scarlet in Autumn.

Any unpicked fruits will soften after a few frosts to create a sumptuous food source for wild birds. Crab apples are self fertile and if planted near orchard apple trees make excellent pollinators. Rootstock: M6. Height and spread: 3m (10’).

Estimated time to cropping once planted: 1 year.
Estimated time to best yields: 3 years.
