BOX HEDGING
- Buxus sempivirens
Box is the ideal plant for a classic English formal hedge, it is fully hardy and able to withstand
the harshest of winters. It can be planted 12-18inches apart for a
hedge, or individual specimens can be used for topiary specimens. Our
1litre plants are approx. 6-8inches tall (1ft inc. pot).

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.

BOX TOPIARY
CUBES- 10inch square
Cubes - 7litre sized pot
Box is the ideal plant for formal 'natural' garden sculpture. If you are
new to topiary, then a box specimen is an ideal way to begin. They are
fully hardy plants, that only require watering (if in a container) and
clipping to maintain the shape.
Topiary has been used in formal Italian and European gardens for
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
garden.

CUPRESSUS
WILMA- Lemon scented evergreen conifer
Cupressus wilma is a GOLDEN specimen conifer, that naturally grows into a cone shaped
column confier. It shines golden yellow, and holds its foliage through
the harshest of winters. These conifers will only need clipping once a
year to maintain an even shape and this unique form of GOLDEN CONFIER
also has a LEMON SCENT when you rub your hands through it or brush
against it!
These beautiful conifers are fully hardy OUTDOORS all year round, and
will be evergreen throughout the winter. Protect from cold strong winds.

Evergreen. Beautiful red Spring foliage. Becoming very popular as an
exotic and unusual hedge is the beautiful Photinia Red Robin. This fully
hardy EVERGREEN plant grows to only 10ft, and can be clipped to any
height to form a dense hedge. The Photinia is grown for its superb
Spring foliage of fire red which blazes across each plant for a

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!

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 golden berries.

Taxus baccata - EVERGREEN YEW HEDGING
Huge 6.5ft plants (inc. pot) in 15ltr pots
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 throughout 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 yew hedging which are in 15litre pots which will make an instant 6ft hedge. These are
superb, bushy specimens and you would only need one every 2-3ft 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. These will be bare root yew trees but supplied IN POTS.

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.
