cup-shaped, bright-red autumn fruits on female plants. The
dark green foliage of this slow-growing, evergreen conifer

borders. Broadly conical in shape, it's tolerant to dry
shade, chalky and acid soils and urban pollution. |

ascending branches of aromatic, soft blue-green leaves,
retained all year, and spherical, violet-brown cones. The
foliage of this narrowly conical coniferous shrub turns
steely-blue in winter. It's an attractive and hardy
specimen plant for a sunny or partly shady shrub border,
coping well with dry, chalky and sandy soils. |

Juniperus communis 'Green Carpet' |

great ground cover. This bright green, prostrate conifer
makes a dense mat which builds slowly with age. Does best
in well-drained soil in full sun. |
|
|
 |
Juniperus squamata 'Blue Carpet' |
| This
conifer is excellent for creating a fast spreading
steel-blue mat of dense prickly foliage. It's just superb
for ground-cover on flat areas, and is easy to grow in any
well-drained soil. |

bush of exceptional blue colour and with dense healthy
foliage. One of the finest dwarf conifers available. |

recommend it is used in group plantings to create an
attractive miniature forest. |

bush with moderate, compact growth. Good golden colour all
year round. |

dense prostrate coniferous shrub is extremely hardy - and
it should since it hails from Siberia! The lovely green
foliage turns bronze in winter. |
|
|
 |
Thuja occidentalis Rheingold |
| A
neat small conifer, this makes a compact, squat-conical
shape with rather stringy textured foliage which, in
summer, is brassy-gold. In late spring, the new growth
adds pinkish-bronze highlights, especially towards the top
of the plant and, in winter, the foliage becomes strongly
orange-toned. Its good colour, shape and size make it
useful in smaller gardens as a feature plant |
|
|
 |
Thuja occidentalis 'Teddy' - Dwarf Slow Growing Conifer |
| Neat
little round bush of soft green juvenile foliage which
turns purple in winter. |
|
|
 |

fast growing evergreen conifer is somewhat slower than the
more well known leylandii, growing at a manageable 2ft per
year. It has cinnamon-red shredding bark and spreading
branches. Bright glossy green leaves above, slightly grey
beneath, and aromatic when crushed. It grows best on moist
soil. |

|
|
Tsuga canadensis Jeddeloh |
