Do you live or work in Greater Manchester and want to fill your city with plants and trees...Our small herd of rare breed Berkshire pigs have done a fantastic job of digging over the birch glade near the Historic Lake, making light work of clearing the ground there...As well as the usual horizontal, we?ve added vertical and oblique wires to help train our fruit trees into all sorts of wonderful shapes
This tree species along with Betula utilis (silver birch) and Cedrus deodara were to form the backbone of the planting in the garden
On the Winter Walk, this golden willow grows on the shores of the Round Pond, beside the pure white bark of the multi-stemmed birch tree Betula utilis var
Designed to inspire visitors through the seasons, spring starts with a pastel palette of crocus and wood anemones underplanted in the Silver Birch Glade and drifts of Camassia in the Grass Meadow, but the real highlight is the swathes of tulips with more than 10,000 being planted every year...Developing through the months, the hotter the weather, the more vibrant the colours become, finally peaking in the attractive autumn colours of the many trees planted throughout the gardens...Under new ownership...

Before planting trees in wet conditions, you may need to improve drainage...On heavy soils prone to winter wet, protect the finer surface feeding roots by planting trees on a slightly raised mound to improve drainage around the root system and carry out the planting in early spring...Trees
Rabbits graze a wide range of plants and can cause sufficient damage to kill young trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants...Trees and shrubs...Betula (birch
Now that all of the deciduous trees and shrubs at Rosemoor have lost their leaves and most of the herbaceous plants have been cut hard back, our attention is drawn to the plants that often go unnoticed throughout most of the year: shrubs with highly coloured stems and trees with interesting barks
