- Acer palmatum 'Osakazuki' is a small, upright tree that spreads gracefully as it matures. Initially, its robust structure makes it a reliable choice for compact spaces. Moreover, its tidy form suits both formal and informal garden styles. In early spring, large lobed leaves emerge with a pinky-bronze tint. As summer unfolds, they transition to a rich green. Then, in autumn, they explode into what many consider the brightest crimson-scarlet tones of any maple. To ensure healthy growth, plant it in a sunny position with moist, well-drained soil. Additionally, while it tolerates moderate wind, some shelter helps protect its vibrant foliage from damage. Ultimately, with a mature size of approximately 3 x 2 metres, 'Osakazuki' fits beautifully into smaller gardens, courtyards, or large containers. As a result, it offers stunning seasonal colour without overwhelming your space.
- Metrosideros excelsa 'Moon Maiden' is a striking natural hybrid of the classic New Zealand Pohutukawa. Unlike its red-flowered relatives, it blooms with sulphur-yellow flowers in December, creating a luminous display. These dazzling blossoms also produce seeds that attract and nourish small native birds, adding life and movement to your garden. As an evergreen, 'Moon Maiden' forms a broad-headed canopy, offering excellent shade. Its thick green leaves feature silver-grey undersides, adding visual depth. Metrosideros thrive in coastal environments and are impressively resilient. They endure poor soil, excess moisture, and drought, making them ideal for exposed or challenging sites. In addition, they tolerate clay and wet soils—an advantage in areas with thin or heavy ground. However, they perform best in moist, well-drained earth. Growing to approximately 6 meters tall and 5 meters wide, 'Moon Maiden' makes a stunning specimen, avenue tree or shade tree
- Carpinus betulus, commonly known as Hornbeam, is a deciduous tree native to Europe, admired for its versatility and elegant form. Its pale grey, short, and slightly twisted trunk adds character, making it a standout in both formal and natural landscapes. Widely favoured for hedging, Hornbeam’s branches can be easily intertwined and trimmed to form dense screens, shelters, or low hedges. It can also be pleached to create structured, architectural lines—ideal for garden borders or avenues. The tree features oval, ribbed green leaves that transform in autumn with vibrant shades of yellow and orange, eventually turning brown and remaining on the tree well into winter, offering seasonal interest. Hornbeam prefers moist, well-drained soil and adapts well to regular pruning. While it can grow to approximately 12 metres tall and 7 metres wide, it responds beautifully to shaping and can be maintained at a desired height.
