Salix Caprea Pussy Willow Goat Willow Tree

Salix Caprea Pussy Willow Goat Willow Tree

Salix Caprea Kilmarnock or Kilmarnock Weeping WillowDuring the 19th century, the first Kilmarnock willow tree was discovered on the banks of the Ayr. Thomas Lang of Kilmarnock was so taken with it that he started to propagate it. By 1853 Salix Caprea Kilmarnock was introduced into commerce and became widely available for purchase by gardeners. Salix Caprea Kilmarnock is a small dwarf deciduous tree. Its diminutive size makes it ideal for any garden. It grows to a height of 2.5 meters with a compact width of 2.5 meters. It is relatively slow growing and generally takes between ten to twenty years to attain its full height. It has a Royal Horticulture Society badge declaring it perfect as a pollinator. A Kilmarnock Willow is the perfect weeping willow for small gardens.The weeping, pendulous branches of the Kilmarnock weeping willow are bare during the spring months except for furry golden catkins that create visual interest and contrast to the landscape. The catkin-laden branches are ideal for creating floral bouquets or drying for crafts. As summer approaches, the soft green leaves start to emerge on the branches. When autumn arrives, the foliage turns a bright golden hue. Plant the Kilmarnock willow in a location in the garden where it will receive full sun for optimum growth. However, it will tolerate partial shade but its growth may be significantly slowed in such a location. It prefers well-draining soil that is moderately fertile. Like most willow varieties, it will withstand waterlogged roots and brief periods of flooding. Plant it in clay, loam, or sandy soil conditions. After planting, keep the soil moderately moist to encourage the small tree to establish a strong, diverse root system. After the first year, the tree will be able to withstand short periods of drought. The Kilmarnock weeping willow tree’s dwarf size and low care requirements make it relatively maintenance free. However, if a branch becomes broken or diseased, it should be pruned away to maintain the tree’s striking appearance. A Kilmarnock Willow can also be trimmed during the winter months when the tree is dormant to maintain its shape and size. Pruning tends to stimulate the tree to produce new growth during the spring and summer monthsSalix Caprea Kilmarnock is a striking addition to any cottage or woodland garden setting. Plant it besides a small garden pond to create a focal point, or next to a patio or walkway where everyone can enjoy its eye-catching catkins during the spring time. The Kilmarnock weeping willow is also often referred to as the pussy willow or the goat’s willow tree. More varieties of weeping trees that work very well in smaller gardens include the Weeping Silver Birch tree and the Weeping Silver Pear tree.

Acer Negundo Aureomarginatum Box Elder Aureomarginatum

Acer Negundo Aureomarginatum Box Elder Aureomarginatum

Acer Negundo Aureomarginatum or Box Elder AureomarginataThe Acer Negundo aureomarginatum is a variegated form of a Box Elder tree. It only reaches 7 meters in height when fully grown and its diminutive sizes makes it an ideal tree for small gardens. It can be grown either as a single stem or multi-stem tree. Box Elder Aureomarginata grows at a rapid rate. It is a long-living deciduous tree and should flourish in the garden for at least fifty or more years.Variegated leaves are the true focal point of the small tree. The pinnate leaves have a yellowish-white coloured margin and the interior is a bright green. Plant this tree beside evergreens or other darker plants to create visual contrast in the garden and to truly appreciate its lovely variegated foliage. During the autumn, the foliage typically turns yellow before falling from the tree to reveal interesting pale grey branches. During the spring and early summer, the tree does flower and bear tiny fruit but they offer no ornamental significance and are often completely overlooked.The small Box Elder grows best when planted in full sun or partial shade. It is a hardy little tree and will tolerate a wide array of soil types and pH levels. However, it does not like overly wet feet, so you should pick a well-draining planting site. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and often thrives where more delicate trees perish.After planting the tree, keep the root system moist but not overly wet for the first year to encourage strong root growth. Once the tree has established itself, it will readily tolerate periods of brief drought.Typically, the Acer negundo Aureomarginatum does not require extensive pruning, but if you wish to trim the tree to maintain its size then the pruning should be done in the summer after the leaves have fully matured. The tree should not be pruned in the winter or spring because it is prone to bleeding sap.Most variegated trees are prone to reversion which means that the tree’s dominant characteristic of growing solid green leaves can take over. If the tree grows a branch that only has solid green foliage and the leaves boast no variegation than the limb should be pruned to maintain the tree’s variegated characteristics.The tree often sprouts at the base so it can be grown as a large oval-shaped shrub. If you wish the Box Elder to remain a single stem specimen then promptly remove any shoots from the base of the tree as they appear.The Box Elder Aureomarginata is a German cultivar. Its history can be traced back to 1883. The small tree has stood the test of time and still remains a garden favourite. It is a wonderful choice for an accent tree, focal specimen, or to provide modest shade. We also sell the Acer Negundo Flamingo which is also a variety of variegated box elder.
