Tilia tomentosa ‘Petiolaris’
Weeping Lime, Silver Pendant Lime Tilia tomentosa ‘petiolaris’, is a magnificent large tree which has weeping branches rather than a weeping habit. The backs of its dark green leaves are fuzzy and white, turning the tree silver in a breeze. It grows to 70 feet tall and 40 feet wide - a tough tree with hanging clusters of small, pale yellow, fragrant flowers in summer. Its large bright green leaves have an attractive silver underside, often planted in older estates in the late 1800’s of which many still remain. Loved by insects for the plentiful flowers, also putting on a beautiful Autumn show of fantastic buttery yellow, before the leaves fall to reveal the amazing structure of this tree. Suited for Parkland
Sorbus hupehensis
‘November Pink’
Chinese Rowan Tree
A beautiful small but vigorous, graceful, deciduous tree with fine grey-green leaves which give glorious autumn colours. Drooping clusters of small white flowers in spring followed in autumn by persistent pink berries which fade to white.
Prefers a slightly acid to neutral soil.
Height 5-6m high in 10 years.
Compound almost grey type leaves are pinnate. Smaller / fatter not as serrated.
Pink berries.
Incredibly slow growing.
Thuja plicata
western red cedar
Thuja plicata is a large, evergreen, narrowly-pyramidal tree reaching an ultimate height of up to 35m. Aromatic, glossy, scale-like, sharply-pointed leaves are held in large drooping sprays on spreading branches that curve upwards at the end. Cones are egg-shaped and around 1.3cm long
Salix matsudana ‘Tortuosa’
Weeping cork screw willow cultivar Turtuosa.
Planted near riversides. Loves water.
Contorted/twisted branches
Lanceolate long leaf. The leaves are also twisted.
If you took a cutting it would root in a glass of water really quickly.
A small to medium-sized, upright spreading tree of about 30 feet in height with a 15-foot-spread, the main ornamental feature of this plant is the contorted and twisted branches and twigs. Branches arise from the trunk at an acute angle and grow up almost parallel to the trunk before they curve back to the horizontal. The winter branch pattern is most interesting and probably accounts for the popularity of the tree.
Platanus orientalis ‘Digitata’
In Europe this cultivar of the oriental plane grows into a large tree with a wide oval crown. When the tree is older the branches hang down more, thereby forming a rounded crown. The bast of the gnarled trunk is yellow, and the green (sometimes grey) bark flakes off in small pieces, giving the tree a speckled appearance. ‘Digitata’ has an ornamental leaf that is clearly different from that of the species. The palmatifid to palmate leaves have 3 to 5 finger-shaped lobes with sharply serrated edges. The spherical flowers are covered with protruding hairs. The fruit, that turns colour from green to brown and measures approx. 2.5 cm in diameter, appears after flowering. The fruit remains on the tree until deep into the winter.
