Stars of Winter
Himalayan birch
BETULA UTILIS JACQUEMONTII
After the leaves fall, Himalayan birch is all about gleaming elegance. Its smooth, pale bark makes it one of the best for winter interest. Also see Snow Queen.
Tibetan cherry
PRUNUS SERRULALAMARCKII
The shiny, mahogany red stems of Tibetan cherry are irresistible - you just want to reach out and feel them. Also provides an injection of welcome winter colour.
Paper bark maple
ACER GRISEUM
A marvellous multi-stemmed tree, paper bark maple transitions from autumn hero to star of winter. As its autumn foliage vanishes, the spotlight falls on textural cinnamon bark.
Silver birch
BETULA PENDULA
In winter, native silver birch gradually lets its delicate yellow leaves fall away, leaving a fine tracery of slightly purple-hued twigs. The silvery trunk grows deeply fissured with age.
Our favourites
Frosted Thorn
CRATAEGUS PRUNIFOLIA SPLENDENS
A tree with year round interest that can be either single stem or multi-stem. A really good all rounder.
Silver Birch
BETULA PENDULA
This stand out tree has branches that are notable by the fact that the ends are pendulous. The bark is white often with black diamond shaped markings.
