Ptelea Trifoliata Common Hoptree Deciduous Small Tree

Ptelea Trifoliata Common Hoptree Deciduous Small Tree

Ptelea Trifoliata or Common Hoptree, is a large deciduous shrub or a small tree. This US native might be best known for its highly decorative flattened winged seeds, but there is much more to this cultivar than ornamental samaras. Easy to grow and to care for, Common Hoptree offers multiple seasons of interest. In spring, the dense, rounded shrub produces dark green, glossy tripartite leaves, circa 12 centimetres in size. The rich green hue of leaves turns to chartreuse tones in the autumn. The star-shaped, pale green flowers borne in cymes emerge in early summer, although the scented blossoms are not particularly showy. It is the fruit that follows that attracts the most attention! The thin, circular, winged discs that encase the seeds adorn the tree for months, appearing late in the summer and persisting on the branches well into the winter. These almost translucent samaras are approximately 2.5 centimetres in diameter. Ptelea Trifoliata has several descriptive common names with historic origins. Hoptree is a historical reference to the use of the seeds as a substitute for hops. Wafer Ash refers to the slim appearance of the seed.Height and Spread of Ptelea TrifoliataCommon Hoptree is can be grown as a large shrub or a small tree. The maximum height this plant can achieve is 4 to 8 metres, with a spread of 2.5 to 4 metres.How Hardy is Ptelea TrifoliataThis deciduous North American native tree is quite resilient and robust. In the United Kingdom, this cultivar is fully hardy and fares well in subzero temperatures. Common Hoptree is also generally disease free and pest free.How To Use Ptelea TrifoliataThe attractive appearance and ease of care make this lovely tree appealing to many gardeners. Its versatile form and foliage lend itself to a variety of uses in landscaping, but Common Hoptree is mostly used as a specimen tree for lawns or as an informal hedge. In mixed shrub borders, this deciduous cultivar serves as a perfect backdrop to plants with showier blossoms, and then shines through with its winged seeds when the flowering season comes to an end.Plant Common Hoptree near a patio or seating area in the garden for shade in the summer and to better enjoy the beautiful fragrance of its flowers. The blossoms might be inconspicuous, but they have a pleasant scent similar to orange-blossoms, which will fill your garden from June to July.How To Care for Ptelea TrifoliataCommon Hoptree is remarkably undemanding. For best results, grow this ornamental shrub in fertile, well-drained soil, in full sun to dappled shade. In case you are interested in similar specimens for your garden, make sure to take a look at our impressive collection of fully mature hardy trees.

Acer Griseum Paper Bark Maple Trees To Buy Online UK & Irl

Acer Griseum Paper Bark Maple Trees To Buy Online UK & Irl

Acer Griseum, commonly known as the Paper Bark Maple is a deciduous tree that has peeling papery light brown bark. This bark looks stunning with the dark green three lobed shaped leaves that appear in early spring.In autumn, this beautiful specimen showcases a fabulous display of rich autumn colours with the leaves progressively turning yellow, orange and then deepest red.  Acer Griseum is a beautiful specimen that will add a splash of colour to your garden throughout the seasons. Even during the bleak days of winter, after the tree has lost its foliage, it still makes an interesting garden specimen because of its diverse bark that stands out in stark contrast to the landscape. Acer griseum produces an eye-catching rounded globe-shaped canopy. It has an open growth habit. As the tree ages, the bark on the trunk starts to peel in paper lengths to reveal the tree’s new cinnamon bark. In the spring months, the tree produces tiny yellow flowers that are followed by winged seeds known as ‘samara’ which the wind blows to various locations. However, the seeds produced by today’s  Acer griseum trees are normally sterile so will not produce unwanted seedlings. The Paper Bark Maple grows best in full or partial sunlight. It likes well-draining moist soil. During extreme heat it prefers additional watering. Applying a layer of mulch around the base of the tree will help keep the soil moist during the height of summer. The Acer griseum prefers acidic soil but will cope well in any well drained fertile planting site. It will tolerate clay conditions if the clay readily drains. During the spring months, fertilize with a general purpose fertilizer to promote new growth.The Acer griseum is native to China and was first introduced to Europe by seeds brought from China by Jesuit Missionaries. It was later introduced to the United States by E.H. Wilson in 1901. Mr. Wilson worked through the Arnold Arboretum.  The Paper Bark Maple has a maximum height 5m with a spread 3m over 50 years. Its small stature makes it ideal for most gardens and landscapes.

Acer Negundo Box Elder Tree Mature Trees for Sale Online UK

Acer Negundo Box Elder Tree Mature Trees for Sale Online UK

 Acer Negundo Box Elder TreeThe Acer Negundo, commonly called the Box Elder tree, is a type of maple tree. It is exceptionally hardy and tough. Box Elder trees often grow where other trees fail such as in bottomlands and areas that frequently flood. It is native to much of the United States and commonly found growing prolifically along streambanks and around other bodies of water. The Box Elder Tree is a popular, fast growing bushy headed mid to large sized deciduous tree. We sell these specimens as mature trees. The foliage of the Acer Negundo features pinnate leaves that have five to nine leaflets. Each leaflet measures up to 10 centimeters in length and 7 centimeters in width. The top sides of the leaves are a bright green and the undersides are a shade lighter. The margins of the leaves are slightly serrated. The new growth shoots of the Box Elder are ornamental and appear a bright, mint green. They often also feature a light white, purple, or pink coating when young. In the early spring, nondescript flowers appear that droop in racemes that measure up to 20 centimeters in length. Following flowering, seeds develop. The seeds are slender samaras that measure about 2 centimeters in length and grow in clusters. Many people think that the clusters of seeds resemble a bunch of keys hanging on a key ring. Only female trees produce the seed clusters. During the autumn months, the seeds provide visual interest until they drop from the tree. The tree's autumn colours are either bright yellow in areas with cold winters or a more bronze-orange in regions with mild winters. The Box Elder tree grows rapidly to a height of almost 25 metres with a canopy width of equal proportion which makes it an ideal shade choice. It is also commonly used in shelterbelts or to stabilize flood-prone areas such as along rivers. The diameter of the Acer Negundo’s trunk is relatively slender and rarely exceeds 50 centimeters in diameter. These trees are sold root-balled with a multi-stem shape or form. The several trunks can form a virtually impenetrable barrier when fully grown.Plant the Box Elder in full sun for best growth. Ideally, it should receive at least six hours of sun or more per day. Although this tree is stalwart and succeeds where very few other trees will survive, it still requires good care to establish a strong root system. It should be planted in an area that provides it with plenty of room to grow to its full potential.If you are seeking a tenacious tree that adapts to a variety of situations, then look no further than the Acer Negundo. Its rapid growth and ability to tolerate adverse conditions makes it a perfect low maintenance shade tree choice. See also Acer Negundo Kelly's Gold and Acer Negundo Flamingo.

Punica Granatum Pomegranate Trees for Sale UK Buy Online

Punica Granatum Pomegranate Trees for Sale UK Buy Online

Punica Granatum or Pomegranate TreeThe Punica Granatum, commonly called the Pomegranate Tree is a deciduous fruit tree whose origins can be traced back to Iran where it grows wild. Pomegranate trees are native to much of the Middle East but can also be found flourishing in many parts of Europe. In its natural state, the pomegranate tree grows as a large bush to a height of 2 to 4 metres. However, the Pomegranate is commonly trained into a tree form, and is an attractive decorative tree for small gardens provided it is in a sunny protected spot. Our specimens have a lovely ¼ standard shape and have big bushy crowns. When grown as a tree, these pomegranates will reaches a height of between 5 to 8 metres. Pomegranate Trees despite their middle-eastern origins, will grow in the Southern UK. Famously, there is a mature fruiting Pomegranate Tree growing in the Chelsea Physic Garden (London’s oldest botanical garden founded in 1673, as the Apothecaries’ Garden, with the purpose of training apprentices in the identification and use of medicinal plants). In the spring and summer months, the pomegranate tree produces reddish-orange flowers on new growth. It develops two types of flowers: bell-shaped and vase-shaped. The vase-shaped flowers are sterile and the bell-shaped flowers are fertile. The pomegranate tree requires no other pollinator tree and is perfectly capable of self-pollinating. However, it will produce a more ample fruit crop if a pollinator pomegranate tree is planted in close proximity.  After flowering, Punica Granatum develops lovely rounded fruit that resembles red apples. The fruit features reddish leathery skin that encases from 200 to 1400 red, juicy, flavourful seeds and a yellowish edible rind. Each fruit measures from 5 to 15 centimetres in diameter. The juice of the pomegranate was once used to create dyes and inks.Mature pomegranate trees feature thick bark which makes them cold-hardy. The tree grows well in the southern UK when planted in a sunny sheltered location. Plant the pomegranate tree in a full sun in a site that has well-draining soil.  Pomegranate trees will not tolerate overly saturated soil. The trees prefer moderately moist soil, but once established they are drought hardy. It generally takes a pomegranate tree three years after planting before it begins to develop fruit. Punica Granatum is relatively carefree. If desired, it can be lightly pruned annually to maintain its size. Any damaged or diseased limbs should always be promptly removed.
