Ginko biloba tree
1 in stock
The Ginko Bilboa tree, also known as a maidenhair tree is a species of gymnosperm tree native to East Asia.
These little trees are currently in 10litre pots are approx 85cm tall.
Ginkos are the last living species in the order Ginkgoales, which first appeared over 290 million years ago, and fossils very similar to the living species, belonging to the genus Ginkgo, extend back to the Middle Jurassic epoch approximately 170 million years ago.
These beautiful trees normally eventually reach a height of 20–35 m. The tree has an angular crown and long, somewhat erratic branches, and is usually deep-rooted and resistant to wind and snow damage. Young trees are often tall and slender, and sparsely branched; the crown becomes broader as the tree ages. A combination of resistance to disease, insect-resistant wood, and the ability to form aerial roots and sprouts makes ginkgos durable, with some specimens claimed to be more than 2,500 years old.
The leaves are very distinctive in shape. Ginkgos are prized for their autumn foliage, which is a beautiful butter yellow.

Plants, Shrubs & Perennials
Leonotis Leonurus peach
Raithby, WC
Not often seen for sale – this wild dagga or lions tail plant has peach coloured flowers.
The bush is comprised of mostly erect branched stems topped with multiple ball-shaped inflorescences which bear the nectar-rich flowers – sunbirds love them. They also attract honey bees and other beneficial insects.
The Bush Bronze butterfly (Cacyreus lingeus Fam: Lycenidae) uses this plant as one of its larval food plants.
It can grow up to 2m high and 1m wide – slightly smaller than the common, orange version.
The generic name Leonotis is derived from the Greek words leon meaning lion and –otis meaning ear. This refers to the pubescent upper lip of each flower that resembles a lion’s ear, hence the vernacular name. The specific epithet leonurus means lion-coloured, a reference to the flower colour of some forms.

Black Bamboo (Phyllostachys Nigra)
Raithby, WC
However, as with all things rare and beautiful, the Black Bamboo does come with its fair share of quirks. This diva of the plant world demands a sun-drenched stage of at least 6 hours per day and shuns the idea of being confined indoors.

Due to the size and weight of these plants, the shoots/clums can be couriered nationwide, however the single stem and multi stem plants can only be click and collected from us only. (Helderberg/CT area)
* Can be invasive when planted in the ground. Roots will spread. May cause damage to paving, foundations etc

Acers, Trees
Rooi Hek Japanese Acer
Grabouw, WC
Gorgeous 5L (23cm pot) Japanese Acer trees available.
This Rooi Hek acer is a little tougher than the others. It can take a little more sun, and a little more wind.
Care Guide –
partial sun, direct sunlight burns their leaves. Summer – water daily if extremely hot alternatively every second day. Winter water 2-3x per week
Fertilize every 10 days with organic fertilizer. Maples are deciduous and loose their leaves in winter. They sprout the most magnificent colours in spring and their autumn leaves turn bright yellow or orange.
Due to the fragile nature (& size) of these plants, they are click and collect from the nursery in Elgin only. Or you can arrange your own courier.
