Origin: from the Lebanese mountains to south-west Turkey. Majestic evergreen conifer with a sturdy trunk producing branches from the base. The young tree has a pyramid shaped habit but with age it develops an outstretched structure with the main branches growing horizontally and tending to flatten at the top, resulting in its distinctive silhouette. The bark ranges from dark brown to black

Taxus baccata

admin — Sat, 31 May 2025 17:08:27 +0000

Origin: Europe, from north Africa to Iran. Conifer with main horizontal branches and secondary branches short and weeping. If left to grow freely and if it has enough space it will become a broadly conical tree with spreading, horizontal branches. Male cones are yellow in spring, followed by beautiful red fruit. Grows well in fertile, well drained soil including chalky and acid soil. Withstands being covered by old trees. Used a lot for hedges because it tolerates severe, repeated pruning and it is also for this reason that this plant is used for creating geometric shapes and Giant Garden Bonsai.

Pinus nigra ‘Oregon Green’

admin — Tue, 04 Jun 2024 13:42:46 +0000

Very hardy plant with rapid growth. It prefers sunlight. This plant is suitable for large gardens and for groups (several plants of the same variety). It has upward-curving branches, well-spaced, covered with long dark green needles, on which long white buds stand out in spring, which in Japan are likened to candles. A mountain essence, it prefers climates with snowy winters and not too humid summers. It grows in all types of soils, even clayey ones, and tolerates the presence of limestone. It does not require pruning but tolerates it well.

Cedrus atlantica ‘Glauca Pendula’

admin — Wed, 29 May 2024 09:31:44 +0000

Very hardy plant with a slow growth. Thrives in full sunlight. Plant suitable for large gardens and for planting on its own. Very picturesque conifer with flexuous weeping branches. Two forms are available:

• grafted at the base with weeping branches along the whole length of the upright trunk which, when it reaches a certain height however, bends down towards the ground;

• grafted at the top on a trunk of C. atlantica at a height that varies from 1m to 2-2.50m. In this case it will form a crown with the main branches spreading out and overlapping, while the secondary branches droop towards the ground.

In any case the final shape is attractive and never gives the impression of being artificial but instead it seems to be a spontaneous quirk of nature. It adapts to different types of soil, even calcareous, but not too moist. Withstands the summer heat and dry atmosphere.

Very hardy conifer with medium growth. It prefers both full sunlight and half-shade. This plant is suitable for parks and large gardens, for groups and for creating windbreaks. The needles are long and have a bright blue color with a silvery hue. Even older specimens maintain dense branching. They prefer moist soil and thrive best in light shade. The soil should be permeable and well-drained, slightly acidic, and moderately rich in nutrients. They are completely frost-resistant.

Very hardy plant with a medium-slow growth. It can be placed in full sunlight, half-shade or in total shade. This plant is suitable for small and large gardens, for the formation of groups (several plants of the same variety), for creating shrubland and woods (several varieties together) and for creating borders. Grows well in fertile, well drained soil including chalky and acid soil. Used a lot for hedges because it tolerates severe, repeated pruning and it is also for this reason that this plant is used for creating geometric shapes and Giant Garden Bonsai.
