A celebration of Plantz in pictures
I'm going to try and keep this page up to date with photos taken at the nursery. Started Oct 2001, I hope this and other pages will provide a good illustration of what can en achieved with plants and mixtures, as well as information on the progress of living Christmas trees.

Orientalis is a very superior Christmas tree - but at three, dwarfed by a one year old Tsuga

Lobelia lutea. Just one plant, starting to flower, in a hanging basket

Blood grass, golden grass, snow in summer and baggesson's gold

Carex "Sparkler", festuca golden toupee, Molinia variegata, and Chasmanthium

After just two years, this gunni hedge is beginning to form nicely, at 8ft

A close view of the hybrid finds it smothered in flower buds... watch this space

Albizzia "rosea", hardy but not evergreen

Acacias, Dealbata and pravissima. Evergreen, not reliably hardy

Canna: Flowers over rated, foliage is great

Bronze carex and other foliages

Wind protection - instant eucalyptus hedge

E. globulus - developing topiary

Lawson's cypress, 8 years in a pot

Leycesteria fruits give winter colour

The whole plant gives an all year feature

Miscanthus sinensis, flowering

Nordmann Firs, container growing 3ft

E. gregsoniana, above a flowering carpet

Sequoia sempervirens and Abies grandis - very young

Sequoiadendron - Magic trees

Tsuga heterophylla, second year

Sun dappled Acacia dealbata

Armeria splendens still flower in late october

Festuca golden toupee, Carex, oshimnesis evergold and Sparkler, Monia caerulea variegata and chasmanthium

A riot of all year colour

Miscanthus heads

Oct 23: Echinacea, medicinal herb, also long flower for decoration

Eucalyptus viminalis, twice risen from the dead..

But the striking E. Glaucesens is much hardier

Behind alyssum, Halogaris Wellington Bronze has rich foliage well into winter
