Silk Tree Nurseries specialize in large plants for instant gardens. We can supply shrubs up to 6ft tall by mail order, delivered to your door. These shrubs are fully rooted and can be planted any time of the year. All sizes include the pot.


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.
The photos to the right show some of the ACTUAL SPECIMENS on offer. We are offering TWO box CUBES which are 20inches in height inc. the pot, and are 10inch each side of the cube.
These make extremely elegant specimens for pathways and front entranceways to the house.  Box topiary can also be used in Italian Formal Style gardens, and go well with Italian Cypress, Hibiscus, Wisteria, Jasmine, and upright conifers.

Ceanothus Italian Skies on trellis (4ft)

One of the very best cultivars of Ceanothus, Italian Skies has lovely ALL YEAR ROUND dark green foliage. It is a climbing shrub, that can easily be trained over a trellis, fence, or house wall. In late Spring,  purple blue flowers cover the plant, and this flowering continues well into early summer. A very easy plant to manage.  We have some beautiful, large specimens available now in 15litre pots, 4ft tall on a 3ft trellis with a 3ft spread. The photo shows some of the actual specimens.

15L pot  specimen on trellis £29.99 (B)


CORYLUS CONTORTA RED MAJESTIC - Red Twisted Hazel

A wonderful and exciting plant, the new RED form of twisted hazel is a sight to behold in Spring, with its large, crinkly, rounded deep red leaves which last right into summer. A fabulous RED leaved plant, it will contrast well with other big leaved green planting in your garden. Leaves will turn to green in summer, and drop in autumn, and then in the winter months, you have the lovely twisted branches to admire.
