Memorial Tree |

It has been an emotional day at Wyevale East Nurseries today with the planting of a tree - Liquidamber styraciflua - for Tony Riley, a much valued member of staff who passed away last year.

Ilex crenata - a great alternative to Buxus |
06 Jan 2012 |
|
Ilex crenata 'Blondie' and 'Dark Green' a great alternative to Buxus. Both have small, glossy, evergreen leaves and similar growth habits and rates as Buxus. These Ilex do not suffer from the same diseases as Buxus and as such are fast becoming very popular where Box blight has become a problem. As versatile as Buxus Ilex crenata 'Blodie' and 'Dark Green' can grow to 2.5m in height yet are easily pruned to 25cm in height as can Buxus or in topiary shapes. Tolerant of many soils and many aspects - this really is one to keep an eye out for.

A stunning selection of the more common Betula utilis 'Jacquemontii'. 'Doorenbos' has vivid white bark that also peels with age. The tree has an upright habit and slightly larger leaves than 'Jaquemontii' that turn a fabulous yellow in the autumn.

Miscanthus sinensis 'Cabaret' has a a bold central white stripe to the leaf with copper coloured flowers in autumn too.

Fascinating Fascicularias |
26 Sep 2011 |
|
Not easy to say or spell, but surprisingly easy to grow once given the correct conditions. A sunny spot in a well drained soil and plant slightly to the side so water or snow doesn't settle in it's centre. I have had one of these gems for over 6 years now, growing in a pot and it happily overspills the pot rim and gives a great display each summer. Fascicularia bicolor originates from Chile. The rosettes of spiney grey foliage, red bracts and tiny light blue flowers are produced in late summer on mature plants giving a tropical look late in the summer. Also in stock Fascicularia pitcairnifolia - a slightly more robust looking plant with deep red bracts.

Wollemi Pine is here!! |
05 Jan 2008 |
|
We are very excited about a new plant currently available at Wyevale East Nurseries. The Wollemi Pine is a survivor from the Jurassic era and one of the greatest botanical discoveries of the Twentieth Century. A living fossil, it was discovered in the Wollemi National Park near Sydney, Australia in 1994, its exact location kept secret to this day for its own protection. The Wollemi Pine is an attractive specimen with three types of foliage dependent on age and at around five years they develop tiny bubbles on their trunks resembling bubbling chocolate! Wyevale East are selling specimens of about 3 years of age. At a retail price of £90 you will receive a 3 litre Wollemi Pine and a gift pack consisting of an information booklet, certificate of authenticity and a sachet of Rootgrow, Mychorrhizal Fungi to improve the vigour and health of this rare pine.
