Deciduous Trees and Shrubs

Malus Pink Lady Semi-Dwarf is a compact, productive apple tree that produces crisp, dense fruit with firm flesh and the signature sweet, tangy flavour that has made Pink Lady® apples a favourite. With a naturally high sugar content, the fruit is excellent for eating fresh as well as cooking in pies, sauces, salads, and desserts. This semi-dwarf variety is ideal for smaller gardens, courtyards, and large pots or containers, offering full-sized fruit on a tree that is easy to manage and harvest.  Self-pollinating, this variety can produce fruit on its own, making it an excellent choice where space is limited, although planting another compatible apple nearby may increase yields. 

Soil: Well-drained and well-worked soil.
Conditions: Sunny position. A very vigorous upright growing tree suitable for most climates.
Size: Height 3.5-4.5m x width 2-3m

The fine foliage turns to blazing red before falling to the ground in autumn. Low-maintenance and highly ornamental, Crimson Queen offers dependable beauty with minimal care. Available as a Standard.

The Pyrus Edgedell Edgewood Ornamental Pear is a standout choice for adding year-round structure and seasonal beauty to landscapes. Renowned for its tidy, conical to pyramidal form, this hardy and durable tree suits a wide range of settings—from home gardens to streetscapes and public plantings. In spring, it delivers a brilliant display of crisp white blossoms that create a soft, cloud-like effect along its branches. As the seasons shift, mid-green foliage provides a fresh summer canopy before transforming into rich tones of red and purple in autumn, offering a striking seasonal finale. Compact in size compared to larger pears, Edgedell Edgewood is particularly valued as a feature tree where space is limited. Its neat shape and resilience make it a reliable option for parks, car parks, and urban environments where both form and toughness are essential.
