Citrus Care Guide

Citrus trees are very rewarding plants to look after, providing endless interest as the scented flowers appear in spring; small fruits set as the flowers fade; fruits steadily grow over 6 months until they ripen to orange or yellow; and the fruits are either picked or remain decoratively on the tree for 3-10 months after ripening.

Bougainvillea Care Guide

Bougainvilleas are very adaptable and can be grown to virtually any size and shape including bonsai, standard, bush, hanging baskets, espaliers, pyramid or over an arch.

Olive Care Guide

The Olive tree symbolises the essence of the Mediterranean landscape. It is an elegant, evergreen tree which makes an excellent specimen plant for a sunny courtyard in a terracotta pot or planted in a Mediterranean style garden. If you are bold enough, there is nothing quite like your own olive grove, under planted with lavender to stimulate the imagination.
