Acer negundo Flamingo tree in 2L pot was £9.99 now £6.99
If you are looking for a distinctive and memorable small tree for your garden, then look no further than Acer ‘Flamingo’.
This stunning selection of Box Elder was made because of the gorgeous pink tinged new growth that appears in Spring, which fades away to a lovely creamy white leaf margin, leaving a gorgeous soft and subtle variegation on the tree. In Autumn, it produces a glowing yellow display before the leaves fall.
Fairly quick growing as a tree, it can reach 5M in 10 years or so, making it an ideal lawn specimen or feature tree for Spring, Summer and Autumn interest in smaller gardens. or it can be pruned each Spring and kept smaller to about 2.5M if space does not permit. It produces better pink colouration in Spring if it has been cut back hard.
A great garden tree for creating shade, looking great all season when in leaf and for screening too.

Supplied as a collection, one of each of the 3 gorgeous colours below, of 3 year old pot grown plants 40cm tall::
Magnolia stellata: Breathe in deeply. The large white flowers that burst out of the silky, silvery buds that cover the bare branches of the aptly named Star Magnolia during March and April are deliciously fragrant. Slow-growing and compact (3m (10ft) in height and 4m (12ft) across) this plant will thrive in most soils.
Magnolia x soulangeana: One of the most popular magnolias you can grow thanks to a succession of huge, tulip-shaped pinky white flowers that smother the branches of this shrub in mid to late spring. They are shown off to great perfection on the spreading bush as they appear before its dark green leaves. Eventually reaching 6m (20ft) by 6m (20ft) wide, it can be pruned to keep within an allotted area. It prefers acidic soil or pots filled with ericaceous compost.
Magnolia Susan: A perfect specimen for a small garden, this medium-sized magnolia boasts narrow, goblet shaped flowers that appear from near purple buds in April. Measuring almost 15cm (6in) across, each deep pink bloom packs a heady scent. It does best in slightly acidic soil or can be planted in containers of ericaceous compost. This upright shrub will grow to 4m (12ft) high by 3m (10ft) across.
