Amelanchier lamarckii. A highly versatile tree with interest in every season. In early spring it produces masses of white, star-shaped flowers. By summer it forms edible berries that attract birds and other wildlife. In autumn, the foliage shifts to bright shades of orange, red, and gold, giving it strong ornamental value. As a multi-stem tree, it adds structure and visual depth to planting schemes.
Himalayan birch. Valued for its bright, papery white bark that brings clarity and light to the garden year-round. In spring it produces fresh green leaves that create a soft, upright canopy through summer. In autumn, the foliage turns warm yellow, adding seasonal colour before the stems take centre stage again in winter. As a multi-stem tree, its peeling white trunks create a strong architectural presence and pair well with grasses, evergreens and naturalistic planting schemes.
Tibetan cherry. Known for its smooth, glossy copper-red bark, which stands out especially in winter. In spring it produces small white flowers, followed by clean, attractive summer foliage. As a multi-stem tree, its striking bark is shown off across several trunks, giving it a strong architectural impact.
