Commonly called the Maiden hair tree because of its leaves which resemble the foliage of the maiden hair fern. This is a beautiful tree which has it’s origins in south China where it is extinct in the wild, but thanks to the areas monks, it has been preserved and grown as an ornamental tree in the temples and now all over the world. It can grow into a huge specimen and is best grown in large spaces, although it can be grown in a container quite successfully and thus stunting its growth. Apart from its legend status and the fact that they’ve been round since the dinosaurs and that they are resistant to pretty much every pest and disease they are also well liked for their beautiful foliage which in autumn turns to a striking gold colour. Available all year round in various sizes. Price from £21.50 approx. If you wish to buy this item, please contact us on 0207 3525656 or email to info@chelseagardener.com
