Salix alba 'Britzensis' multi-stems
03 February 2012 It's easy to forget, with all the topiary and pleaching we do, that we also grow a large range of interesting field grown trees. Just like these huge 'Red Stemmed Willow' multi-stems. They are stunning in winter and silver leaved in summer. Designers have used them in a mirriad of different ways.

New for 2012 - Carpinus betulus 'Pannels
03 February 2012 Our Carpinus betulus pannels are new for this season. They are something a bit different and with a 60cm stem and a 2m x 1.2m pannel, they can provide a living screen. Crucially they are grown by us with at least 2 years on the frame, giving them the maturity not possible with smaller girth trees.
