Acer

Commonly referred to as  Japanese maples. Slow growing small shrubs and trees renowned for either their spring or autumn (sometimes both!) foliage. A wide variation in habit, colour, leaf shape etc!  A plant for the connoiseur, and you’ve probably guessed, my favourite..

Camellia

Slow growing shrubs with beautiful blooms in spring on lush evergreen foliage. A good architectural plant. Flowers are not unlike those of a rose but, in most cases,  they appear a couple of months earlier.
