The most narrow of the Ginkgos'Menhir' is of special interest as it is very narrow. Its column shape and its reduced width allow it to be planted in rows or individually, in public parks as well as in smaller gardens.Its growth is vigorous and robust from an early age on.The fairly serrated leaves are of a blue shade of green-grey. Their golden-yellow tint in autumn is long-lasting.A male variety, without production of 'fruit'.
A small, ornamental tree with striking summer flowersHoheria sextylosa 'Snow White' is a small tree that keeps its ornamental character throughout the year with its elegant and persistant foliage, its glorious summer flowers and its naturally pyramidal habit. The simple, abundant and delicately perfumed, pure white flowers, resemble those of a cherry tree. The long and clearly toothed leaves are a brilliant green inserted in an attractive, black wood.Hoheria sextylosa 'Snow White' can grow to 4 or 5 metres in 20 years but readily accepts pruning. It may therefore also be used in hedges or maintained as a miniature if necessary.Ideally it prefers a mild, oceanic climate but is nevertheless hardy up to -10°. In colder regions, it's recommended to plant it in sheltered spots, away from cold winds.
Bright coral - as a tree.
This tree of abour 4 m high is particularly original from spring to autumn.
The spring foliage is of an intense coral. It then takes on a light green tone, contasting with the bright pink to red stalks. Like with the other varieties of soap trees, they are composed and elegantly shaped. The new summer shoots are also coloured, but less flamboyant.
Once the tree is well established, the long yellow grapes of flowers in July are fragrant and very melliferous. They are followed by attractive coral-rose fruit capsules.
Finally the colour of the foliage turns yellow, then orange in autumn.
Grown as small decorative tree or as a bushy shrub, 'Coral Sun' must be planted in a wind-sheltered spot.

A Liquidambar, bright even in winter.

Its deciduous foliage, pale yellow in the spring, then green in summer, changes to remarkable red tones in the autumn.
Due to the speed of its medium growth, 'Golden Sun' is a small tree, with an identical shape to the classic American sweet gum tree: even pyramid, with lateral branches growing regularly out of the trunk.
It is as suitable individually grown in smaller gardens, as in rows.
