Betterbuxus Renaissance, Blight Resistant Box Renaissance

Betterbuxus Renaissance, Blight Resistant Box Renaissance

Betterbuxus Renaissance is a new blight-resistant evergreen box hybrid with compact branches and small glossy leaves.A decade of research from Belgian breeder Herplant has led to the development of four new blight-resistant box hybrids. The hybrids are named Betterbuxus with individual varieties Renaissance, Babylon Beauty, Heritage, and Skylight.Betterbuxus Renaissance is much like the traditional box we all know but is more compact. It has tiny year-round dark green leaves and needs very little pruning due to its slow growth habit. New spring growth is paler but slowly matures to a darker green and is sometimes followed by small cream flowers. This new variety of blight-resistant box is a great choice for topiary, low growing hedges, dividing parterres, and patio containers in blight-hit areas.Height and Spread of Betterbuxus RenaissanceBlight Resistant Box Renaissance is slow-growing and can be kept at whatever height and spread you choose with a yearly prune.How Hardy Is Betterbuxus RenaissanceBuxus can withstand UK winters and sub-zero temperatures if the roots are well-drained. Blight resistant box Renaissance also withstands some box tree caterpillar attack, growing back fresh green growth after an infestation has been dealt with.How To Use Betterbuxus RenaissanceThese plants thrive as border and container plants. Because blight resistant box Renaissance is slow-growing and especially compact it suits low-growing hedging, low maintenance gardens, and well-watered containers of topiary.How To Care For Betterbuxus RenaissanceRenaissance will grow in all types of soil, including sandy soils, and will tolerate partial shade. It’s slow-growing nature means a once yearly trim is enough to keep it in shape.Natural blight resistance means fungal treatments are not required, but you should water during dry spells, feed each year with a specialist box feed, and mulch the roots in spring to encourage healthy growth.

Box doesn’t like drying out and hot direct sun can scorch its foliage.Because they are slow growing, buxus spirals only require one clip a year (maximum two) to keep in shape.  Water them well until established and during hot spells.

Acer Negundo Aureomarginatum Box Elder Aureomarginatum

Acer Negundo Aureomarginatum Box Elder Aureomarginatum

Acer Negundo Aureomarginatum or Box Elder AureomarginataThe Acer Negundo aureomarginatum is a variegated form of a Box Elder tree. It only reaches 7 meters in height when fully grown and its diminutive sizes makes it an ideal tree for small gardens. It can be grown either as a single stem or multi-stem tree. Box Elder Aureomarginata grows at a rapid rate. It is a long-living deciduous tree and should flourish in the garden for at least fifty or more years.Variegated leaves are the true focal point of the small tree. The pinnate leaves have a yellowish-white coloured margin and the interior is a bright green. Plant this tree beside evergreens or other darker plants to create visual contrast in the garden and to truly appreciate its lovely variegated foliage. During the autumn, the foliage typically turns yellow before falling from the tree to reveal interesting pale grey branches. During the spring and early summer, the tree does flower and bear tiny fruit but they offer no ornamental significance and are often completely overlooked.The small Box Elder grows best when planted in full sun or partial shade. It is a hardy little tree and will tolerate a wide array of soil types and pH levels. However, it does not like overly wet feet, so you should pick a well-draining planting site. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and often thrives where more delicate trees perish.After planting the tree, keep the root system moist but not overly wet for the first year to encourage strong root growth. Once the tree has established itself, it will readily tolerate periods of brief drought.Typically, the Acer negundo Aureomarginatum does not require extensive pruning, but if you wish to trim the tree to maintain its size then the pruning should be done in the summer after the leaves have fully matured. The tree should not be pruned in the winter or spring because it is prone to bleeding sap.Most variegated trees are prone to reversion which means that the tree’s dominant characteristic of growing solid green leaves can take over. If the tree grows a branch that only has solid green foliage and the leaves boast no variegation than the limb should be pruned to maintain the tree’s variegated characteristics.The tree often sprouts at the base so it can be grown as a large oval-shaped shrub. If you wish the Box Elder to remain a single stem specimen then promptly remove any shoots from the base of the tree as they appear.The Box Elder Aureomarginata is a German cultivar. Its history can be traced back to 1883. The small tree has stood the test of time and still remains a garden favourite. It is a wonderful choice for an accent tree, focal specimen, or to provide modest shade. We also sell the Acer Negundo Flamingo which is also a variety of variegated box elder.

These tough plants will tolerate any soil type, as long as it is nutrient-rich and well-drained. It will do best in a neutral to acid ph soil. If you are planting in clay soil, make sure to add plenty of humus to lighten it.  As long as it is planted in the full sun, Japanese Holly Blondie will thrive in a sheltered or exposed location.

It can be clipped into forms as simple as a potted topiary ball or a tall column by a doorway, or as complex as a green, living sculpture. Because they do well as potted plants, the topiaries are very decorative year-round on patios, balconies, or roof terraces. Since its development in the 1990’s in Belgium, Ilex crenata Blondie has become a stand-out hedging and topiary shrub in UK gardens.

Acer Negundo Box Elder Tree Mature Trees for Sale Online UK

Acer Negundo Box Elder Tree Mature Trees for Sale Online UK

 Acer Negundo Box Elder TreeThe Acer Negundo, commonly called the Box Elder tree, is a type of maple tree. It is exceptionally hardy and tough. Box Elder trees often grow where other trees fail such as in bottomlands and areas that frequently flood. It is native to much of the United States and commonly found growing prolifically along streambanks and around other bodies of water. The Box Elder Tree is a popular, fast growing bushy headed mid to large sized deciduous tree. We sell these specimens as mature trees. The foliage of the Acer Negundo features pinnate leaves that have five to nine leaflets. Each leaflet measures up to 10 centimeters in length and 7 centimeters in width. The top sides of the leaves are a bright green and the undersides are a shade lighter. The margins of the leaves are slightly serrated. The new growth shoots of the Box Elder are ornamental and appear a bright, mint green. They often also feature a light white, purple, or pink coating when young. In the early spring, nondescript flowers appear that droop in racemes that measure up to 20 centimeters in length. Following flowering, seeds develop. The seeds are slender samaras that measure about 2 centimeters in length and grow in clusters. Many people think that the clusters of seeds resemble a bunch of keys hanging on a key ring. Only female trees produce the seed clusters. During the autumn months, the seeds provide visual interest until they drop from the tree. The tree's autumn colours are either bright yellow in areas with cold winters or a more bronze-orange in regions with mild winters. The Box Elder tree grows rapidly to a height of almost 25 metres with a canopy width of equal proportion which makes it an ideal shade choice. It is also commonly used in shelterbelts or to stabilize flood-prone areas such as along rivers. The diameter of the Acer Negundo’s trunk is relatively slender and rarely exceeds 50 centimeters in diameter. These trees are sold root-balled with a multi-stem shape or form. The several trunks can form a virtually impenetrable barrier when fully grown.Plant the Box Elder in full sun for best growth. Ideally, it should receive at least six hours of sun or more per day. Although this tree is stalwart and succeeds where very few other trees will survive, it still requires good care to establish a strong root system. It should be planted in an area that provides it with plenty of room to grow to its full potential.If you are seeking a tenacious tree that adapts to a variety of situations, then look no further than the Acer Negundo. Its rapid growth and ability to tolerate adverse conditions makes it a perfect low maintenance shade tree choice. See also Acer Negundo Kelly's Gold and Acer Negundo Flamingo.
