Tree planting in Summer

Just because it is Spring/Summer it does not mean that you cannot plant trees - either native trees or ornamental trees.
You can get a range of either of the above from 6ft-8ft high in 10lt pots right through to 20ft-30ft high trees.  As long as they are watered in a dry time they are fine to plant. A few varieties are:
Native Trees
Betula pendula - Silver birch
Alnus glutinosa - Common alder
Acer campestre - Field maple
Fagus sylvatica - Beech
Fraxinus excelsior - Ash
Quercus robur - English oak
Tilia cordata - Lime

Ornamental Trees
Betula jacquemontii - White stemmed Birch
Sorbus  - Rowan (Varieties: Sheerwater Seedling/Joseph Rock)
Cercis siliquastrum - Judas tree
Malus - Crab apple (Varieties: Golden Hornet/John Downie)
Acer's - Maples (Varieties: Royal Red/Emerald Queen)
Prunus - Cherry (Varieties: Pink Perfection/Shirofugen/Umineko)

Ornamental Bark Trees
Prunus serrula Tibetica - mahogany brown bark
Betula jacquemontii - pure white bark
Acer griseum - paper bark maple, peeling cinnamon coloured under bark
Betula ermanii - Birch type with peeling creamy bark with pink tinge
Betula nigra - Birch variety with shaggy, flaking cinnamon orange bark

Most of the above benefit by being planted in groups of 3's to bring out their individual beauty. 
These trees are just a small range of trees that are available through our website.
