Acer davidii
Snakebark Maple Tree
Common Name: Snakebark MapleLatin Name: Acer davidiiSoil: Fertile, moist, well-drainedPosition: Full sun or partial shadeHardiness: Fully hardyHeight/spread in 20 years: 15m x 10mSpecial features: Striking bark which develops serpentine stripes The Acer davidii is one of the best varieties of ‘snakebark’ maples; it features highly unique bark that starts out red then matures to green with fissured white stripes. Aside from the striking bark, the leaves are also of good interest as they are large leaves that emerge mid-green and turn to lively shades of orange and pink in autumn. Come spring, pretty yellow flowers appear and these are soon followed by clusters of winged seeds. This is a fantastic tree for adding colour to your garden and it will make an ideal screening or specimen tree.

Magnolia grandiflora
Evergreen Magnolia Tree
The Magnolia grandiflora boasts the most beautiful, very large white flowers and glossy green foliage which holds all year round. A bold and bright tree that is perfect for adding interest in all seasons. You would be hard-pressed to find a flower as large and beautiful as this one in your average garden. The Magnolia grandiflora, also known as the 'Evergeen Magnolia', features colossal flowers, with some up to 25cm wide, which appear in late August- early September. The cup-shaped flowers have thick, creamy-white petals and really stand out. The flowers have an intense citrusy scent, with hints of lemon, which makes this the perfect choice for sensory planting. Another great feature of this tree is its very large leaves: the evergreen leaves are oblong-elliptic shaped and dark, glossy green in colour. The thick and waxy leaves often have reddish-brown hairs underneath and they offer a healthy dose of colour all year round. This tree grows to have a broad, conical shape and it’s fairly bushy, making a great screen. It looks simply stunning when paired with the Magnolia Exmouth, but if you want contrasting interest then we would recommend planting the 'Grandiflora' alongside the Photinia ‘Red Robin’ as the blushed foliage of this evergreen makes the perfect foil to the ‘Grandiflora’. Magnolia grandiflora can be trained against a wall or grown as freestanding rounded or conical large shrub or tree.

Magnolia grandiflora Little Gem
Dwarf Evergreen Magnolia
As the common name suggests, the 'Little Gem' is a more compact variety of magnolia - yet the smaller size does not result in a compromise of its features. One of the most notable characteristics of this tree has to be the pure-white, cup-shaped flowers that appear in late summer. The flowers are fragrant and sit amongst the large and glossy dark green leaves. The leaves have rusty bronzed undersides and as this is an evergreen variety they hold on the tree all year round. This is a great choice for planting in a smaller garden and will be sure to attract a whole host of wildlife to your outdoor space too.
