Product Description
Commonly called the Holly Oak tree, Quercus Ilex often live for more than a thousand years. They are large evergreens with very dense crowns of leaves. They have strong polymorphic leaf of 2 – 9cm long; the younger leaves are wider and have toothed, sharp margins. The colour and texture of the Quercus Ilex varies from hairy, tender and pale green when they first appear to a leathery, dark green, covered in soft white hairs on the underside, when adult. Both male and female flowers are borne on catkins and appear in June, the first ones being the most decorative as they are a soft yellow.

Grows in poor soil, but prefers calcareous, and does not like clay. Will withstand a lack of water in hot, dry summers and tolerates any kind of pruning. These are effective wind breaks, are suited to full sun or shade, good on their own or in groups and resists the salty winds of a sea climate very well, without damage to the beautiful foliage. It has a hardiness rating of H4 making it good for the British climate but better take measures to protect it during extreme cold snaps. It is prone to pests but is generally disease free. It can grow to a maximum height between 1.8 m – 2m (5.9 ft – 6.6 ft) and a final spread 60 cm – 1.5 m (2.0 ft – 4.9 ft)

Blue Arizona Cypress (Cupressus Arizonica Fastigiata) – 3 Balls

Product Description
Impressive three ball topiary 140 cm high fashioned from Cupressus arizonica ‘Fastigiata’ (Arizona cypress), a tall fully hardy perennial evergreen conifer.

As its name suggests, the Blue Arizona Cypress is native to the North American states of Arizona and New Mexico, where it enjoys the dry climate. Cypress trees are vigorous-growing evergreens with flaking or scaly bark. The Blue Arizona’s usual shape is a pointed column, or an egg-like oval with a pointed top. Their needle-shaped leaves are aromatic and they grow in dense bunches, giving them a furry appearance.

All conifers are known for their hardiness and resilience against the elements. We often think of them being heavily covered with snow during the winter, but they can look equally as bold and impressive against a bright blue summer sky. Conifers get their name from the “cones” that they produce – which come in all shapes and sizes. Conifer leaves are evergreen and will either be needle-shaped or scale-like.

Product Dimentions

5 (litres) – trunk 30-40 cm

10 (litres) – trunk 70-80 cm

15 (litres) – trunk 70-80 cm

Product Description

Unlike most citrus plants, the Lime tree is not a hardy plant. They are capable of surviving brief periods below 0C, though may lose leaves, flowers and fruit as a result. Even though it has a H6 rating, it is better to bare the 0C temperature in mind and shelter them below this figure. Lime trees are best grown in large containers and moved indoors to a bright position before the first frosts in Autumn.

Lime trees are perhaps the most exciting of all ornamental citrus trees to grow because of their rarity in Britain. Lime trees are evergreens that produce green fruits containing sour, acidic pulp, which are usually smaller and sourer than lemons. Limes are grown all year round and used to accent the flavours of foods and beverages. Lime juice is a good source of vitamin C though lemons have a higher concentration.

Lime trees need plenty of sun and watering, whether when indoors or outdoors so make sure they are positioned in a place which receives sun all day long. The lime tree tolerates all soil types but prefers moist soil. Becareful of potential diseases and pests when growing this true. Maximum height is between 40 cm – 50 cm (1.3 ft – 1.6 ft) and the maximum width is between 20 cm – 60 cm (0.7 ft – 2.0 ft)
