- Magnolia grandiflora ‘Little Gem’ is a compact evergreen tree originating from the USA. With its rounded form and slower growth, it provides year‑round structure and elegance in the garden. The glossy deep green leaves, highlighted by russet undersides, are typical of grandiflora magnolias. Moreover, creamy white flowers appear freely from an early age, filling the air with fragrance and charm. This magnolia tolerates clay soils; however, avoid overly wet conditions. In addition, it grows to approximately 5m tall by 3m wide but can be pruned easily to maintain shape and height. Because of its size and adaptability, ‘Little Gem’ is excellent for smaller gardens or large pots, offering beauty and versatility in both traditional and modern landscapes
- Yulan Magnolia - Magnolia denudata - is a moderately fast-growing tree with a rounded, dense canopy. Throughout summer, its large, dull green leaves provide lush coverage, gradually transforming into golden-yellow hues as autumn arrives. Then, in late winter to early spring, the tree bursts into bloom with pure white, goblet-shaped flowers that emit a delicate lemon scent. These blossoms appear on bare branches, creating a truly spectacular display. Originally from China, the name "Yulan" translates to "jade orchid" or "jade lily," symbolizing purity and elegance. Moreover, this tree prefers moist, well-drained soil in a sunny position, making it both resilient and easy to care for. Due to its smaller size, it is especially suitable as a feature tree in compact gardens or urban landscapes. Typically, it grows to approximately 5 metres tall and 3 metres wide.
- Liriodendron tulipifera, commonly known as the Tulip Tree, is a fast-growing, pyramidal deciduous tree with a clean trunk and graceful spreading branches. Its large, lyre-shaped green leaves create a lush summer canopy and turn a vibrant butter-yellow in autumn, adding seasonal interest. In late spring, fragrant tulip-like flowers appear, showcasing greenish-yellow petals with a striking orange band at the base. These blooms make the tree a standout feature in any landscape. The Tulip Tree thrives in moist, well-drained soil and tolerates clay, provided it is not overly wet. It grows approximately 10 x 6 meters in 10 years and can reach 30 x 15 meters at maturity. Ideal as a shade or specimen tree, it also works beautifully in avenues to create a bold statement. The name “Tulipifera” refers to its distinctive tulip-shaped flowers, which are its most charming feature.
- Liriodendron tulipifera ‘Fastigiata’ – Upright Tulip Tree is a deciduous tree with a strong, columnar growth habit. Its upright branches hold distinctive green, lyre shaped leaves that turn a rich butter yellow in autumn, adding seasonal interest to any landscape. In late spring, slightly fragrant tulip shaped flowers appear. They are greenish yellow with an attractive orange band at the base, creating a subtle yet elegant display. The upright tulip tree prefers full sun and well drained soil. However, it adapts to clay provided you avoid excessive moisture. Because it grows to around 8 × 3 metres and maintains a tidy, slender form, it suits formal landscapes, avenues, and compact urban spaces.
- Liquidambar styraciflua – American Sweetgum is a striking deciduous tree known for its straight trunk and corky bark. It starts narrow and upright, gradually forming a broad, conical crown as it matures. Its green summer foliage transforms into vivid yellows, reds, purples, and oranges in autumn, creating an exceptional seasonal display. Native to North America, American Sweetgum thrives in moist areas and even tolerates poor drainage or clay soils. However, it performs best in moist, well‑drained soil with full sun. Reaching approximately 7 x 5 m, it makes an excellent avenue, specimen, or shade tree.
- Liquidambar styraciflua 'Worplesdon' is a striking deciduous tree with an upright, pyramidal habit and distinctive corky bark. Its deeply lobed, green ‘maple-like’ leaves provide lush foliage throughout spring and summer. As autumn arrives, the leaves transform into a brilliant display of fiery red, orange, and yellow making it a true seasonal highlight. Thanks to its form and colour, this variety is excellent for avenue planting, as a shade tree specimen, or as a feature in small gardens. Ideally, it prefers a sheltered position with moist, well-drained soil conditions. At maturity, it typically reaches around 6 metres tall by 4 metres wide, offering structure without overwhelming the space. Interestingly, the Latin name styraciflua refers to its gum-producing nature.

- Laurelia novae‑zealandiae – Pukatea is an evergreen native tree of New Zealand. It grows quickly, producing fresh green, oval, serrated foliage along shiny black branches. For many years, it maintains a columnar form before eventually developing into a large, round-headed specimen tree. Pukatea thrives in moist to wet, fertile soils. In fact, it excels in temperate to warm subtropical climates with high humidity and consistent rainfall. Its unique strength lies in its ability to grow in poorly drained, swampy areas where other trees often fail. Perfect for wetland areas. This tree is the perfect choice for challenging sites where others would not cope. In natural forest conditions, it can reach heights of up to 35 metres. However, in urban settings with compacted soils, it more commonly grows between 6 and 10 metres, making it suitable for gardens and landscapes.
