A popular, easy to grow flowering shrub that is perfect for UK gardens. Viburnum opulus 'Roseum' AKA the Snowball Tree, is a bushy, deciduous shrub with striking blooms and lobed, maple-like leaves that turn fiery shades of red and purple in the autumn. Most noted for its voluminous clusters of flowers, this viburnum bursts into bloom from early May, becoming a mass of green-tinted white snowball flowers which become flushed with pink as they age. Unlike the more common Guelder Rose, fruits are not produced as the flowers of the Snowball Tree are sterile, however the show of spring and autumn colour more than makes up for this - plus the flowers are just perfect for cutting and bringing into your home. Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that this is a proven garden performer, robust and vigorous, and guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come. Supplied as 3 x established plants in 9cm pots, ready for immediate planting. Will reach approx. 4m x 4m and is perfect for a flowering hedge or as a specimen plant in borders.

'Braeburn' in the most popular dessert apple in the UK. Discovered in New Zealand in 1952, it is named after the orchard where it was first grown. Famous for its incredibly juicy, firm, white fleshed fruits with greenish yellow skins streaked with orange and red, its flavour is considered to have a perfect balance of sweetness and acidic tartness. This refreshing taste sensation is what makes this such a popular apple. Beautiful pale pink blossom in April and May is followed by the large fruit that can be picked from late September. They keep very well if kept cool, easily lasting until January, so don't worry too much about the bumper crop that 'Braeburn' will deliver as you'll have plenty of time to enjoy eating it. Although it's a dessert apple, it's wonderful in puddings such as tarts because it maintains its shape and flavour and doesn't release too much liquid. 'Braeburn' is self-fertile, so it doesn't need another apple nearby to pollinate it. However, the already excellent harvest will increase further if there is one. Supplied as a bare root tree, 1.2 m (4 ft) tall on a dwarfing M9 rootstock, growing to a height and spread of 2.5 m (8 ft).

They also grow best in rich, fertile, well-draining soil.- Even though self-fertile, Braeburn will fruit better in the presence of another pollinator.Care GuidePlanting your Braeburn Apple:- Select an appropriate spot with enough space to allow your plants to grow. Dig over the planting site and remove any weeds.- Dig a hole twice the width of the pot, forking over the bottom to loosen the soil, then add some good quality fertiliser, compost or well-rotted manure. We've found that a square hole is better than a round one as the new roots, once they reach the edges tend to grow in a circle round the circumference of the hole whereas when they reach the corners of a square hole, they find it easier to grow through.- Remove the tree from its pot and loosen the roots as necessary.- Plant at the same depth as the tree was in its pot. Spread Mycorrhizal granules in contact with the roots when planting.- Holding the tree upright in position with one hand, slowly backfill the hole with soil, so the soil falls back around the roots.- Compact the soil around the plant with your heel to ensure good contact around the roots.- For all trees, use our Tree Planting Kits including stakes, rubber ties and Mycorrhizal fungi, which is proven to aid tree growth and development.- Push 40cm of each stake into the soil next to each tree. Make a figure of eight around both the trunk and stake with a tie and fasten it off.- Mulch around the base of the plant with a collar, compost, gravel, bark etc.- Water the plants at least weekly especially in dry weather for the first 8 weeks.Aftercare advice for Braeburn:- Drought can severely impact the fruit yield of Braeburn so do not allow plants to dry out.- Once established for one season, they will become much more tolerant to a lack of water, as the root system develops.Pruning your Braeburn Apple:- There is no real need to prune trees and shrubs for the first couple of years. Prune established trees in summer using good quality secateurs, removing weak shoots and overlapping branches, to create an evenly spaced bowl shape.- Cut the current seasons branches back by roughly a third.- Unless you are growing in a specific shape, Braeburns only need minimal ongoing pruning to remove damaged, diseased or dead growth.- Prune when the tree is dormant in winter.Planting Time:October - AprilFlowering Time:April - MayFruiting Time:September - OctoberAbout You GardenEstablished for over 50 years, our award winning trusted plant supplier are based in South Lincolnshire.

You might know Viburnum plicatum f. tomentosum by its more common name, Japanese Snowball Bush. It's easy to see where this name comes from when, in May and June, the plant bears impressive, white flowers. However, this hardy shrub is perhaps most famous for its tiered foliage. Its green, heart-shaped leaves look lovely at the back of sunny borders throughout the summer, but come into their own in the autumn when they turn spectacular shades of red and purple. Viburnum plicatum f. tomentosum is therefore a great addition to cottage, woodland and wildlife gardens in need of some added, late season interest. Height: 3m (10'). Spread: 2m (8').
Viburnum tinus 'Lisarose' is one of few shrubs that flowers in winter, between December and April, so it is an excellent choice for providing colour when so much of the garden is dormant. It has evergreen foliage and creamy white florets open from deep pink buds, on compact flowerheads, which are then followed by shiny black fruits. It is an ideal shrub for wide borders in larger gardens, especially those with a woodland setting. Planted in a line, Laurustinus makes a lovely hedge. Height and spread: 3m (10?).

The fading blooms are followed by shimmer, metallic blue berries. Viburnum x globosum 'Jermyns Globe' is easy to grow, making an ideal bushy shrub or small tree. Grow it as a free-standing shrub alongside cottage garden favourites, or plant as a hedge. Height 2.5m (8.2'). Spread 3m (10').
