Deciduous Trees and Shrubs

The Trixzie White Cherree Miniature Cherry features light pink flesh that is firm and deliciously juicy. These vibrant trees have gorgeous white blossoms in spring that give way to round/ heart-shaped, blush-coloured cherries ready for picking in summer. The self-fertile, miniature variety has been developed for the smaller garden and is perfect for pots, patios and courtyards. Like all produce plants, correct pruning, regular fertilising and watering will result in an abundance of fruit. Trixzie White Cherree will require annual pruning in winter, as this will encourage a stronger branching framework, airflow through the canopy and better fruit quality.

Conditions: Full sun. Frost tolerant.

Widely admired for its spectacular spring display, Malus ioensis Plena—commonly known as Bechtel’s Crab Apple—is a small deciduous tree with a rounded, spreading habit. In spring, masses of fragrant, bright pink double flowers burst from rosy buds, creating a breathtaking floral show.

A superb choice as a feature tree for smaller gardens or landscapes where space is limited. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape.

Betula Moss White is a variation of the famous Silver Birch tree, known for its radiant white bark and elegant, drooping branches. The tree's fine, bright green foliage takes on a luminous pale yellow hue in autumn, creating a lovely softness to the tree. To showcase the stately white trunks and branching structure, consider planting it in groups or avenues. When pruning, it's important to do it in summer or autumn, and avoid pruning in winter or spring to prevent profuse 'bleeding'.

Soil: This tree thrives in moist, well-drained soil. Keep in mind that birches have shallow roots, so make sure to provide adequate watering during summer.
Conditions: The tree prefers to be planted in areas with sun to part-shade. It can tolerate short periods of wet and dry, and can withstand frost and coastal environments. However, it's important to protect it from hot winds.
Size: Height 10-11m x width 6m
