Green Hedging Bamboo - Phyllostachys bissetti
Phyllostachys bissetii is an often hard to find bamboo, and a much
underused one. In our opinion at Silk Tree Nurseries, this is the BEST
bamboo for screening. It is vigorous, but not classed as invasive, it is
very hardy (down to -24C!), but it's best feature is that it grows many
culms (canes) that are densely packed to create a barrier, that is
difficult to penetrate (so ideal for security) and thick with foliage so
that you cannot see through it. This is a medium sized bamboo growing to
6-8metres, but can be pruned to any height.

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.

Pyracantha - Firethorn
EVERGREEN BURGLAR HEDGE!
Pyracantha is grown for its amazing display of autumn berries, as well
as for its unique ability to act as a fence against burglars or unwanted
animals such as cats, rabbits and dogs! This very easy to care for plant
has 1/2 to 1inch thorns all over the branches. It is reliably EVERGREEN,
giving interest all year round, with small white flowers in late Spring
and in autumn a stunning display of bright scarlet berries which cover
the plant from head to toe.
Pyracantha can make an effective guard against unwanted visitors, and
can be grown as a hedge - or plant back border for an
autumn display of red berries.

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.

stock will be ready in September)
