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 Hoptree is a historical reference to the use of the seeds as a substitute for hops.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.

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.

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.

Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana Ivonne False Cypress Ivonne Tree

Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana Ivonne False Cypress Ivonne Tree

Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana ‘Ivonne’ (or Yvonne) is a medium sized, hardy evergreen conifer that has an impressive conical form and signature golden yellow foliage, particularly in winter. Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana (Lawson's Cypress or False Cypress) is the UK’s most popular garden conifer. The variety Ivonne (sometimes referred to as Yvonne) is a recent, disease-resistant cultivar developed in Oregon State University and prized for its golden-yellow foliage.  Chamaecyparis lawsoniana Ivonne is immediately recognizable by its yellow hued leaves. It has flat, soft needles of bright yellow-green from spring to summer, changing to an almost golden colour during the winter months. As the foliage matures, the leaves become closely pressed together in flat sprays. The foliage is fragrant. Each Lawson’s Cypress Ivonne tree produces small male (white turning red) and female (blue turning green) flowers in spring / summer. The female flowers go on to develop into small, brown cones.  The growth form of False Cypress Ivonne is particularly attractive. It growths slowly with a pronounced columnar habit. It matures to a narrow, upright, compact conifer with a dense branching habit. As it ages, it becomes slightly wider at the base. If you wish to grow Lawson’s Cypress Ivonne as a tree, do not prune it as it has a naturally conical form. Coming from the West Coast of the United States, Lawson’s Cypress Yvonne prefers full sun but it will also grow quite happily in partial shade. It will grow in any well-drained soil but it does have a preference for lightly acidic soil. While it is hardy, it is best not to plant it in a very exposed spot as it foliage won’t look at its best. Neither does it like to be waterlogged.  Chamaecyparis lawsoniana Ivonne is grown widely in the UK as an ornamental tree. Use it for adding an elegant burst of golden-yellow to the garden. It is helpful to wildlife as the dense evergreen foliage provides shelter for nesting birds in late winter /early spring. Thanks to its dense growth habit and its tolerance of pruning, Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana Ivonne can be used for topiary - for example Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana Ivonne spirals and Chamaecyparis lawsoniana Ivonne Pom Pom. The Chamaecyparis family of conifers is related to the Cypress (Cupressaceae) family. It is sometimes referred to as False Cypress, as opposed to ‘true’ Cypress which is Cupressus Leylandii. It originates from California and was first introduced to Britain in the 1850s as seeds sent to Lawson’s nursery in Edinburgh, hence the name. Today Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana, according to Kew gardens, is one of the most popular garden trees in the UK and there are many ornamental cultivars available including the blue Chamaecyparis lawsoniana Columnaris.
