Tilia cordata
Small-leaved Lime
The native Small-leaved Lime is a variable medium-tall tree with an initially conical crown, broadening to become quite rounded with age. Foliage roundly heart-shaped. Shiny dark green above, paler below. Flowers pale yellow- white and slightly fragrant. Grows to a height of 18-20m, occasionally larger, with a 15m spread.
Susceptible to epicormic growth, so ensure nursery stock has a clean trunk with fully healed wounds (from previous branch removal). Aphids do gather on the undersides of leaves to produce a light 'drip' effect in summer although relatively less so compared to some of the worst offending Limes, but still not ideal for use in car parks or similar locations. Requires free-draining planting pits.

Corylus avellana
Common Hazel
The Common Hazel is a native large multi- stemmed shrub or small to medium-sized tree which is not typically grown as a clear-stemmed tree. The yellow catkins make a fine display in early spring. The relatively large, rounded, green serrated foliage often turns to yellow shades in autumn, when the clusters of edible nuts are ripe. Thrives in a wide range of soils and in sun/light shade.
Crataegus monogyna
Common Hawthorn
The Common Hawthorn is widely used for hedging. This variable native has small, lobed foliage and brown or grey bark. Masses of clusters of scented white flowers in May and small red fruits in autumn. The best growth is produced in good soil, but the plant is very tolerant of cold, occasional water-logging and wind. Grows to a height of 8-10m with a 6-8m spread.
Euonymus europaeus
Common Spindle Tree
The Native Spindle Tree is a deciduous medium shrub or small tree with dark green, oval, pointed leaves. Grown for its orange-scarlet colourful fruits & autumn foliage display.
May cause stomach upset if fruit is eaten uncooked. Spiny twigs can cause scratching and possible skin irritation. Hedging plants which are not cut back after planting tend to remain rather bare at the base. Take care to keep roots moist and plant before foliage starts to 'pip' to minimise losses. Root-ball recommended from 12-14cm girth and upwards.
All parts particularly the fruits are harmful if eaten.

Ilex aquifolium
Common Holly
The native evergreen Common Holly is a large shrub, which can become a medium-sized tree in time. The glossy green foliage is variably spiny. Persistent red berries are produced on female plants ripening from green. Does well in most soils, in sun or light shade and near the sea. Good evergreen hedging plant.
Berries may be harmful if eaten and very spiny leaves can cause scratching and possible skin irritation. Can be clipped to form an excellent evergreen hedge. For large plants, specify bushy, furnished to the base for instant impact; select one size larger than required & allow for trimming back once in situ. Available root-balled in winter. Although can take on a tree form in time, it is not available as such for supply.
