Betula pendula
Silver Birch Tree
Common Name: Silver Birch TreeLatin Name: Betula pendulaSoil: Will grow in most soilsPosition: Full sun or partial shadeFlowering period/colour: March/Yellowy-brown male catkinsHardiness: Fully hardyHeight and spread in 20 years: 8m/3mSpecial features: White peeling bark. (Deciduous)Betula pendula is a graceful native tree, upright growing, the smaller branches becoming pendulous with age. The deciduous leaves are a diamond shape and hold a mid-green colour before turning yellow in autumn. Yellowy brown male catkins in appear in spring. White peeling bark which with age becomes ruggedly fissured and dark-grey, almost black, at the base. These trees are most effective when planted as a close group of 3 and they also make a good windbreak.The silver birch is an extremely popular tree which is widely planted for its highly ornamental white peeling bark. The ornamental bark gives this tree interest all year round, and it looks particularly effective in winter when the rest of the garden is dormant. In spring, diamond-shaped mid-green leaves appear on the upright branches, and at the same time yellow-brown male catkins hang from the tree. Autumn sees the leaves fade to yellow before falling, when they again reveal the beautiful bark. As this tree matures, the branches become more pendulous and the bark develops a real character and becomes deeply fissured and dark grey in colour.
Pinus sylvestris
Scots Pine
Common Name: Scots PineLatin Name: Pinus sylvestrisSoil: Chalky, Clay, Loamy, Sandy (will tolerate most soil types)Position: Full sunHardiness: HardyEventual height/spread: Up to 25m/8mSpecial features: Pine needles that grow in pairs and hold a blue-green colour all year round.Pinus sylvestris is a native to Scotland and it is therefore the only pine native to Britain; it is a slow-growing evergreen conifer that is widely planted as a parkland tree. The Scots Pine features glaucous blue-green needles that are borne in pairs and curl slightly at their tips. As this conifer slowly grows into a tall tree, its main trunk becomes deeply fissured and holds an unusual orange-red colour. In autumn, further interest is added when little green pine cones appear, and these gradually grow over two years and become brown after several months. Eventually, this tree will become very tall and it will have a long clear stem with the main branches starting from the top third of the tree. This is a great choice for parkland planting or for a large woodland type garden. Make sure that you give this mighty tree the space it needs to thrive and grow.
Prunus avium
Wild Cherry Tree
Common Name: Wild Cherry TreeLatin Name: Prunus aviumSoil: Tolerates most soil typesPosition: Full sunFlowering period/colour: April to May/WhiteHardiness: Fully hardyEventual height/spread: 15m/12mSpecial features: Beautiful native treeAn attractive and vigorous tree is one of the most attractive native woodland trees in Britain. It features single white flowers which appear in April and May, followed by glossy cherries which are ideal food for the birds. The tree has grey bark which turns to mahogany shades as the tree ages and begins to peel. The tree is strong growing and healthy with a conical shape in its youth, more spreading and irregular with age. With this being a wild and native tree it looks good in naturalistic mixed planting as one might expect, yet it is versatile enough for avenue planting.
