The Plants

Grown in Japan where – obviously – they use native Japanese yew which is almost indistinguishable from our own. We find these plants take to our climate particularly well. Please contact us for stock availability and sizes.

This is a must for every garden whether exotic or not. Fast growing drama – huge leaves on a trunk, they can reach 20ft or more but can be cut to any size you choose. Please contact us for stock availability and sizes.

Very fine evergreen climber. Dense mass of small leaves and tiny cream flowers in June and July with the delicious smell of Gardenia. Slow growing. Please contact us for other stock availability and sizes.

It’s become really well known over the last 20 years. Evergreen, self twining climber with deliciously fragrant little white flowers. Easily controlled with a pair of shears. Please contact us for stock availability and sizes.

The corner stone of all exotic gardens in Britain. Tough as old boots, grows to 20ft after 30 years. We usually remove the hair on the trunk (if you were wondering). Please contact us for stock availability and sizes.

Highly desirable – like a neater T. fortunei and the leaves are so stiff you really can grow them in windy gardens. Slow growing and rare but incredibly reliable. Please contact us for other stock availability and sizes.

Primitive, weird and unique from its evergreen Schefflera-like leaves to its vivid green flowers. Very frost hardy, slow growing to 20ft. Please contact us for stock availability and sizes.

Tall, narrow, sparsely-leafed stems, flattened heads of bright lavender-purple flowers. This is a short-lived perennial and may be damaged by winter frosts. To 3ft. Please contact us for stock availability and sizes.
