Flowering Trees

Trees grown for the weeks they take over a garden. Crape myrtle through the heat of summer, coral tree in scarlet, chaste tree in lavender-blue.

Crape Myrtle 'Natchez'

Lagerstroemia indica 'Natchez'

The white-flowered Natchez is the largest and most elegant crape myrtle, flowering for weeks in high summer when almost nothing else does, then showing cinnamon-coloured peeling bark all winter.

Crape Myrtle 'Tuscarora'

Lagerstroemia indica 'Tuscarora'

Deep coral pink flowers over a broad vase-shaped crown, and mottled bark that becomes a feature once the leaves fall. One of the most reliable and disease-resistant crape myrtles for hot summers.

Crape Myrtle 'Muskogee'

Lagerstroemia indica 'Muskogee'

Soft lavender flowers over an exceptionally long season, on one of the tallest and fastest crape myrtles. A good street or driveway tree where you want summer colour at height.

Crape Myrtle 'Dynamite'

Lagerstroemia indica 'Dynamite'

True red flowers, which are rare in this genus and hold their colour rather than fading to pink in heat. New foliage emerges red in spring, giving a second season of interest.

Black Diamond Crape Myrtle

Lagerstroemia indica 'Black Diamond'

Near-black foliage held all season, against flowers in vivid contrast. The darkest-leaved crape myrtle available and a genuine design tool for breaking up a garden of uniform green.

Cockspur Coral Tree

Erythrina crista-galli

Scarlet flowers shaped like clawed beaks, carried in large sprays through late spring and summer. An unmistakable, slightly wild-looking small tree that draws every bird in the neighbourhood.

Price on request

Chaste Tree

Vitex agnus-castus

Lavender-blue flower spikes through the hottest weeks of summer, over aromatic grey-green foliage. Native to the Mediterranean, entirely drought proof once rooted, and heavily worked by bees.

Weeping Bottlebrush

Callistemon viminalis

Long weeping branches hung with bright red bottlebrush flowers, repeating intermittently from spring through summer. Tough, fast, and tolerant of poor soil, heat, and coastal wind.

Planting something larger?

If you are planning a full garden, an orchard, or a landscape project, we can design and install it rather than supply it plant by plant.
