Plant Photo It is sad to reflect that in England so few gardens open to the public label their plants or label them so that the label is visible when that plant is in flower, so that visitors can identify; and then later locate and purchase that plant. Few mail-order nurseries provide the detail as shown in my rose or heather galleries. If you want to sell a product, it is best to display it. When I sold my Transit van, I removed its signage, cleaned it and took photos of the inside and outside before putting them onto an advert in Autotrader amongst more than 2000 other Transit vans - it was sold in 20 minutes. If mail-order nurseries could put photos to the same complexity from start of the year to its end with the different foliage colours and stages of flowering on Wikimedia Commons, then the world could view the plant before buying it, and idiots like me would have valid material to work with. I have been in the trade (until ill health forced my Sole Trader retirement in 2013) working in designing, constructing and maintaining private gardens for decades and since 2005 when this site was started, I have asked any nursery in the world to supply photos. R.V. Roger in Yorkshire allowed me to use his photos from his website in 2007 and when I got a camera to spend 5 days in July 2014 at my expense taking photos of his roses growing in his nursery field, whilst his staff was propagating them. I gave him a copy of those photos. |

Use as shade tree for large gardens, This is one of the plants in "The San Francisco Botanical Garden has accessioned over 21,000 plants during its history (over 20,000 still living), representing over 13,000 different kinds of plants (over 8,000 taxa still living)." The Plant Collections page of the San Francisco Botanical Garden describes their logging system and the information that can be accessed from it by the public. It is unfortunate that the Royal Horticultural Society at Wisley did not have this system, so that its students who attended for its 1 year course; could study it and not continue to make the same design and maintenance mistakes for example in the Mixed Borders, Rose Beds and trial beds where the public is requested to choose their favourite variety during 2013; as the students had made in the previous years. I believe that the Royal Horticultural Society is or has been spending many millions of pounds on a new entrance to Wisley - perhaps they might learn something about estate management from American Botanical Gardens. Due to not knowing whether the Black Plant labels in the Heather Collection at Wisley correctly belong to the plants alongside, I have stopped taking photos. |

Tr D Prefers well-drained sand and clay soils; and can grow in heavy clay. |
Black cottonwood is a pioneer species specifically adapted to colonizing and dominating areas disturbed by floodwaters. Use it next to rivers or streams which may flood your garden, together with its associated vegetation. Poplars have very extensive and aggressive root systems that can invade and damage drainage systems. Especially when grown on clay soils, they should not be planted within 12 metres of buildings since the root system can damage the building's foundations by drying out the soil. |
The leaf buds, as they swell in the spring, and the young leaves have a pleasing fragrance of balsam:-

Bird Cherry is an attractive flowering tree with almond scented flowers in May which are held on long slender racemes.
The seed and leaves contain hydrogen cyanide, a poison that gives almonds their characteristic flavour. This toxin is readily detected by its bitter taste. Usually present in too small a quantity to do any harm, any very bitter seed or fruit should not be eaten. In small quantities, hydrogen cyanide has been shown to stimulate respiration and improve digestion, it is also claimed to be of benefit in the treatment of cancer. In excess, however, it can cause respiratory failure and even death. All or parts of this plant are poisonous. |

Ornamental Tree Height Guide Introduction What height does the tree you want to buy online grow to? This is one of the most commonly asked questions that www.trees-online.co.uk is asked. To answer this question we have produced this tree height guide to help you choose the correct height. The heights of the trees we are giving are the suggested height after 10 years. Please note that this is only a guide and the situation the tree is planted in will impact on the height, meaning the tree will be smaller or taller. As a general guide, expect the heights of trees in this guide to increase by 50 % of their height after 20 years. How this tree height guide works is that we have created four sections:-
You will find we have grouped the trees in alphabetical order, using their Latin names, with common names where appropriate in brackets. You will also note that some species fall into more than one height category. |
"A tree is nature’s air conditioner. It can knock up to 7,000 air borne particles per litre out of the air – every day." from TreeCanada. |

Sense of Fragrance from Stephen Lacey |
Fragrance data from Stephen Lacey Flower Scent:- Foliage Scent:- |
The RHS Companion to Scented Plants Hardcover – 16 Oct 2014 by Stephen Lacey (Author), Andrew Lawson (Photographer) ISBN 978-0-7112-3574-8:- RHS COMPANION TO SCENTED PLANTS is an authoritative guide to creating beautiful, well designed gardens that are highly scented, and shows how scent can turn a good-looking garden into an unforgettable one. Stephen Lacey analyses the different scent ‘flavours’ available to the gardener, and discusses how to use scent as an ingredient in a planting scheme. An experienced gardener and plantsman, he shows how a simultaneous display of riches for the eye and the nose is within the grasp of every gardener. A comprehensive catalogue describes over 1,000 of the best plants to grow for their fragrance as well as their beauty. This is the only major reference work on scent and scented plants and is endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society. Due to the problems that I found in validating information provided by the above book especially on the Fragrant Trees and Fragrant Shrubs Pages, together with the summary at the bottom of the Sense of Fragrance from Stephen Lacey Page, I have ceased this section of Fragrance from Stephen Lacey and switched to a new section in the next row on Plant Fragrance as determined by Roy Genders in the Sense of Fragrance from Roy Genders Page (using the information within his book Sense of Fragrance using Scented Flora of the World by Roy Genders. ISBN 0 7090 5440 8), starting in September 2017. |
