\u00a0by Karen Mariconda
\n<\/strong>It\u2019s Christmas time yet again and we have to decide what presents to buy for our loved ones. Not an easy decision particularly for those who say ‘don\u2019t get me anything at all!’\u00a0 An unusual and different present would be a tree<\/a> or shrub<\/a> that, if nurtured, would stay with the recipient forever.<\/p>\n

There are many plant gifts that are low maintenance and even suitable for the most inexperienced gardeners. So, you would not be giving them something that had to be constantly looked after:<\/p>\n

Low Maintenance Plant Gift Ideas and Suggestions
\n<\/strong>
\nOlive Trees \u2013 Olea Europea
\n<\/a><\/strong>An olive branch being a sign of peace, this tree is one of our favourite gift plants and always welcome in any garden.\u00a0 It is also easy to maintain particularly in pots.\u00a0 The silvery foliage is a joy to look at on the coldest winter days and the established trees have proved very frost hardy through the coldest of winters here in the South-East.\u00a0 We have many shapes to choose from including half-standards, full standards and bushy shrubs. Sizes range from a very manageable 3ft tall right up to very mature specimens at over 10 feet tall.<\/p>\n

\"Olive<\/a>

Olive Trees Make Wonderful Gifts<\/p><\/div>\n

Trachycarpus Fortunei<\/a><\/strong>
\nThe Trachycarpus Fortunei Palm is the hardiest palm in the world and one of the slowest growing. Therefore it is as suitable for pots<\/a> as it is to plant in the ground. A joyous plant, always looking attractive whatever the weather, and as a feature architectural plant, it can be underplanted with colourful bedding or perennials.\u00a0 Prices start from around \u00a340 each for Trachycarpus Fortunei palm around 0.5 m height.<\/p>\n

\"Trachycarpus<\/a>

Trachycarpus Fortunei | Chusan Palm<\/p><\/div>\n

Wollemi Pine<\/a>
\n<\/a><\/strong>This unusual and rare conifer<\/a> originates from the 200 million year old Araucariaceae family \u2013 similar to a Monkey Puzzle<\/a> but with much softer and non-prickly branches. This is a unique gift for any special occasion. This pine works well in pots or planted in the ground.\u00a0 This also has proved very hardy in our coldest winter in 100 years (2010-2011).<\/p>\n

\"Prunus<\/a>

Prunus Serrulata Multi-stem | Wollemi Pine<\/p><\/div>\n

Prunus Serrulata Multi-stem <\/a>– Ornamental Mahogany Bark Cherry<\/strong>
\nWhilst any of the ornamental cherry trees are wonderful trees to own because of their attractive structures, flowers and fairly slow growth rate, the Prunus Serrulata has a mahogany coloured bark which looks great particularly during the months (it looses is leaves between Nov-Feb).\u00a0 The foliage also changes colour in late autumn and white flowers appear in early Spring. Suitable as well for either pots or planting in the ground excellent for any size garden.<\/p>\n

Azalea Japonica<\/a>,\u00a0 Viburnums<\/a>,\u00a0 Camellia Japonica<\/a> and Magnolias
\n<\/a><\/strong>The flowering shrubs have been grouped together because they all make wonderful presents because of their incredible colour or fragrant flowers appearing either in early Spring or late Summer.<\/p>\n

\"Azaleas<\/a>

Flowering Azaleas<\/p><\/div>\n

Many sizes, prices and shapes available. The evergreen varieties (ie still have their leaves in winter)\u00a0 include\u00a0 Camellia Japonica, Azalea Japonica and Magnolia Grandiflora. Of particular interest is Viburnum Tinus Eve Price<\/a> which has pink buds at Christmas time changing to white flowers in New Year to early Spring. Prices depend on pot size and variety.<\/p>\n

\"Magnolia<\/a>

Magnolia Flowering | Magnolia Grandiflora | Viburnum Tinus, Trevor Eve<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Daphne<\/a>

Daphne Odora Aureomarginata<\/p><\/div>\n

Daphne Odora Aureomarginata<\/strong><\/a>
\nThis evergreen small compact rounded shrub is of particular interest in December because the fragrant flowers start to appear,\u00a0 first as pink buds and later in fragrant flowers.\u00a0 This little gem grows well in pots and, as it originates from China, is hardy in harsh weathers.<\/p>\n

Ilex Crenata Japanese Cloud Trees<\/strong>
\n<\/a>If money is not an issue and for a very special occasion the Ilex Crenata Japanese Cloud Tree is the most spectacular tree. Easy to maintain and to keep in a planter or raised bed.\u00a0 These ornamental shaped trees are rare, unusual and very old. Prices start from around \u00a3400.00 each for 1m height, 1.3-1.4m height for around \u00a31250 and 2m height around \u00a33400 dependent on shape and structure.\u00a0 I know it\u2019s expensive but if you see them you will know they are worth it!!<\/p>\n

\"Cloud<\/a>

Cloud Trees Are Stunning Gifts<\/p><\/div>\n

Just a few ideas out of hundreds of plant varieties available but if you really can\u2019t make a decision then plant gift vouchers<\/a> are also a good option. Our online gift vouchers are valid for 12 months from the delivery date.<\/p>\n

Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year to all our Customers!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
