Specimen Trees Auckland
Cornus controversa variegata (Wedding Cake Tree)
Cornus controversa variegata, commonly referred to as the Wedding Cake Tree, features tiered branches that bear leaves that are variegated cream and green. The foliage retains this colouring until autumn when yellow tones develop before the leaves fall. It typically grows to 6 m tall and 4 m wide and is usually trimmed to enhance the shape. Cornus controversa variegata makes an excellent specimen tree and is ideal for including in a mixed planting, using in avenue plantings, or planting to border an entranceway.
Magnolia Amethyst Flame (Amethyst Flame Magnolia Tree)
Magnolia Amethyst Flame is a smaller tree that bears masses of large and showy, bright red-purple flowers in late winter and early spring on the naked stems, before the foliage emerges. It typically grows to 2.5 m tall and 1.5 m wide and can be trimmed as necessary. Magnolia Amethyst Flame is commonly grown as a specimen, added to a mixed planting, included in cottage gardens, planted around outdoor living areas, or used line or border an entrance.
