Hornbeam, Carpinus betulus

Hornbeam, Carpinus betulus

A deciduous, broadleaf tree native to the UK, hornbeam is very similar to Beech both in looks and habit, even retaining many of its leaves through winter (although it does lose a few more than Beech). Hornbeam has bright green new leaves in spring with deep veins and a serrated edge, which differentiates it from Beech, and these give way to coppery leaves in winter, which are retained by the tree through the colder months.Often confused with beach which has as less serrated leaf and also fruits which lack wings, hornbeam is more tolerant of poor soils and exposed sites than beech, and if your ground lays a little wet in winter for example clay soils, then hornbeam will tolerate this better.These features mean that Hornbeam is perfect for creating high hedges to screen out noise and wind, growing around 20-40cm per year and quickly creating a high privacy screen.As well as creating a border to your garden, hedges are also great for the environment and wildlife, and hornbeam is no different as it provides shelter and food supplies for many animals, especially as it retains its leaves over winter.Supplied as an 80-100 cm plant (inc 3L pot), ready for planting out - potted plants can be planted at any time as long as the ground is not frozen or waterlogged.NB Plants are dormant between October and April and are sent out without leaves.

Pink Garlic Germidour

Pink Garlic Germidour

'Germidour' is one of the most satisfying garlic varieties you can grow, producing big and compact bulbs with white, papery skin streaked in pinky-purple. Mild and subtle in flavour, with a delicate aroma - perfect for many savoury dishes, whether used raw in salad dressings or in cooking. Originating in France, this worthy winner of the RHS Award of Garden Merit is virus-free and a reliable cropper with bulbs of around 10-12 succulent cloves.This 'softneck' garlic doesn't produce flower stems but will mature earlier than 'hardneck' alternatives, while also storing better too, even for up to three months after harvest! The garlic that is most commonly sold in supermarkets is softneck - but don't be tempted to propagate shop-bought garlic as it will be more prone to disease and crop far less efficiently than plants grown from these superior horticultural quality bulbs.Traditionally, garlic is planted on the shortest day of the year in December and harvested on the longest in June, although it can be planted in autumn or spring, with the former resulting in earlier crops.Although winter hardy, this may benefit from cold protection, or can be grown in a greenhouse or tunnel. If planting in the spring, just wait until frosts have gone before placing in the ground. 'Germidour' thrives in sunny spots in most well-draining soils, but if soil is heavy, prepare the plot in advance by digging in some well-rotted garden compost, adding sand or grit to improve drainage. Or grow in good-quality compost in a raised bed, trug or container.Supplied as a pair of bulbs, ready to split into approximately 10-12 cloves for planting.
