ABELIOPHYLLUM distichum 'Roseum'  This scarce form has pinker flowers than the species. It is sometimes called "Pink Forsythia" but this reflects more its time of flowering (February before the leaves) than either its colour or parentage! A very pretty plant never the less. It stays quite small, rarely more than 1m, but can be untidy unless trained against a wall. Not available this season
	ABIES koreana If you have the space, plant one of these majestic conifers for posterity (and your grandchildren!) Slow growing but tidy habit, with wonderful white undersides to the needles. Violet-purple cones are a bonus, even on young trees. Specimens only - please ask
	ACER campestre 'Carnival' This spectacular form occurred in Holland as a chance seedling in 1989. The young leaves are bright pink maturing to striking cream with a green centre. As a variant of our native Field Maple, these tolerate sites which other Maples cannot, even over chalk. However, it will prefer a shadier site. 3m. Sold out
	ACER campestre 'Postulense' Unusual and attractive form with golden leaves, tinged pink when young. Apply the usual rules for gold leaves - good light to give good colour but avoid the midday sun to prevent scorch. Smaller growing than the wild forms. Our stock plant has shown that this one will tolerate full sun once established. Sold out
	ACER campestre 'Pulverulentum' A pretty variegated cultivar; this time the leaves are irregularly mottled with greens and creams, and even a little pinky orange. I do like these campestre forms because they are so versatile. Our plant is in full sun on heavy clay and is thriving. 2 - 2.5m Sold out
	ACER campestre 'Royal Ruby' Unusual and attractive form. Rich purple young growth bronzes with maturity before giving lovely autumn colours. The best colour will be had in good light. Avoid poor soils which dry out in summer. Smaller growing than the wild forms. Sold out
	ACER campestre 'Silver Celebration' Our own selection, this handsome tree arose as a sport from Acer campestre Carnival here in the garden. The variegation is less vivid, making for a more subtle plant as well as a more adaptable, more tolerant plant. Thus it is much less likely to scorch in sun than its cousin. Choosing a name for a new plant is always a rather traumatic experience. Here the "Silver" element reflects the prettily variegated leaf margin, whilst ‘Celebration" seemed appropriate for many reasons - the new millennium, the children and the pure pleasure of a life with plants. £22.50
	ACER circinatum "Vine Maple" A densely branched shrub or small tree with relatively large leaves and surprisingly large flowers. "Maples of the World" describes it as a "highly recommended, valuable garden plant". The fiery red and orange autumn colours are quite stunning. From £18.00
	ACER circinatum 'Little Gem' A product of a "witches broom" in Vancouver B.C., this delightful dwarf plant forms a low orbicular mound. The leaves are also small, slightly red tinged in spring, green in summer and develop wonderful red and orange autumn colours. Sold out
	ACER circinatum 'Little Joe' This is almost identical to 'Little Gem' above. To be honest, at his stage, I really cannot tell you what the difference. Selected at a different place at a different time by a different person! Sold out
	ACER circinatum 'Monroe' A plant I've lusted after for years, we have a great crop of youngsters this season. Shrubby habit, with deeply incised light green leaves (even more so than A. japonicum 'Aconitifolium'). Predominantly yellow autumn colours may develop some orange. Worthy of a special site. 3m. from £24.50
	ACER circinatum 'Pacific Fire' Imagine the coral bark colour of Acer palmatum 'Sangokaku' combined with the larger leaves and more tolerant growth requirements of this species, and the result is a plant with awesome potential. Fantastic autumn colour too. Sold out
	ACER circinatum 'Sunglow' This has been on my "wanted" list ever since I first saw it photographed! Apricot coloured young growth matures to cream, highlighted by orange veins. The exact colour will depend on light levels, though a shady site is preferable to protect the gorgeous foliage. Supposedly a little chap, to barely more than 1m, but I think that in this climate it will get taller than that. from £24.50
