Plant of the Day
Saturday 23 December 2023
At Gordon Castle, Scotland, these pillars of Fagus sylvatica Atropurpurea Group (copper beech, purple beech) add height and structure to the 100m long central borders. The designer Arne Maynard surrounded the topiary tree pillars with herbaceous plants in a soft colour palette with flowers and foliage of blue, purple and white with touches of yellow and apricot.

Plant of the Day
Thursday 5 January 2023
These large trees have the distinctive habit of Fagus sylvatica ‘Pendula’ (weeping beech) with wide-spreading main boughs draped with long, pendulous side-branches. It was a treat to be on a level with the tree canopy viewing it from the embankment towpath of the Caledonian Canal, Inverness, Scotland.
