hundreds of years, and our own English country gardens have some
spectacular displays. Ideal as a lawn compliment, or as a patio feature,
box topiary instantly gives that refined, cultured look to a small

Prunus lustianica angustifolia
Red Stemmed Portugese Laurel EVERGREEN
The ideal evergreen hedging tree, or specimen evergreen
We began offering this unusual form of Portugese Laurel at the nursery
two years ago, and it proved an instant hit, popular because of its
reliability as an evergreen throughout the winter, and its ability to
keep its leaves throughout the hardest of winters. Also, this beautiful
glossy leaved tree does not seem to be a target for caterpillars and
does not suffer chewed leaves in the summer like other Prunus. The red
stemmed Portugese Laurel has the most superb red stems in the winter
months. Picture to the left shows some of the actual specimens (10litre
pots, 4ft inc. pot)

giving interest all year round, with small white flowers in late Spring

Taxus baccata - EVERGREEN YEW HEDGING
Huge 6-7ft plants (180-220cm inc. pot) in 10ltr pots, verybushy
Classic Style Evergreen hedging
Yew hedging has been used in English gardens for many hundreds of years,
and is still one of the most popular hedging plants in Britain. It is an
ideal subject for formal hedges, and is very slow growing, so is easy to
maintain. The dark green, glossy needle like foliage remains reliably
evergreen througout the winter months, and Yew hedging will also bear
fruit. It can be easily pruned to any height, and is tolerant of most
conditions.
We have on offer some very large bareroot yew hedging which have been
potted into 10litre pots which will make an instant 6ft hedge. These are
superb, bushy specimens and you would only need one every 3ft to make an
instant 6ft screen. They will be shipped IN POTS, so you can leave them
in their pots if you want a pot screen, or plant them straight in the
ground now.
The photos to the left show some of the actual specimens on offer.
We can ship these huge yews anywhere in the country (excluding N.Ireland,
Islands, and Scottish Highlands) - and if you are looking for ten or
more of these specimens and you are within 70miles of Oxford then please
phone the nursery for quantity discounts.

LEYLANDII ,
GOLD & GREEN
The Leylandii conifer is still the best selling and
most popular conifer for screen hedging in the UK today, and
deservedly so. This conifer will grow at up to 3ft per year in the
ground, and can form a dense hedge in a short space of time. Once they
reach your required height, then simply prune them once a year to keep
them at this height. They will last 50 years or more in this way.
Used as a screening conifer, they can be planted 2-3ft apart.
Leylandii are fully hardy anywhere in the UK. The photo to the left
shows some of our 10litre gold specimens.
