Today we turn the spotlight on unusual trees with unusual foliage colour.
They do not come any more unusual in colour than Toona sinensis Flamingo. This is a Marmite plant that seems to either receive coos of delight or turned up noses. Known as the Chinese Mahogany, Toona has colour from spring to autumn in a kaleidoscope of colours. In spring the foliage emerges salmon pink in colour, changing to a pale creamy-yellow before changing to green in the summer. In the autumn months the foliage becomes yellow before dropping. Toona has an upright habit with a columnar crown. It is a really unusual tree.
Albizia jul Summer Chocolate is the opposite in stature to a Toona. It has a graceful spreading habit with rich chocolate coloured fern-like feathery foliage. The fluffy pink flowers have prominent stamens and are freely produced in the summer. Known as the Silk Tree, Albizia jul Summer Chocolate is a colourful, exotic looking addition to a sunny garden. Great for coastal conditions and Mediterranean style gardens.
Again, all in stock on the tree field. Over 3000 trees to choose from.
