“I love trees - they are my babies. I like to see trees used to their best advantage, so we developed the Top10 guide to help gardeners select the best trees for their situation.

This list however, isn’t specific to a category – it’s a list of trees that I personally love, and for a wide range of reasons.When we first imported the maples in the Lipstick Tree® range I was worried about how they would perform in Australia. We trialled them extensively, and wow – they showed me! Not only do they cope – they are show-offs!I also love the white barked birch trees, Betula jacquemontii. I plant these wherever I can – I have a huge copse at home that I just adore – they are very elegant and just keep getting better each year.” Wes
