Sequoiadendron giganteum (Sequoia gigantea Tree)
Sequoiadendron giganteum, commonly known as the Giant Redwood, is a large, evergreen tree and aptly named for its red coloured wood. It features feathery, dark green foliage which is held on broad branches emerging off a central trunk as it grows to about 60 m tall and 20 m wide over several hundred years. The Giant Redwood is commonly grown as a specimen, planted to provide shelter, or used for timber production.
Robinia pseudoacacia Umbraculifera
Robinia pseudoacacia Umbraculifera is a small, deciduous tree that grows as a dense ball of soft-looking, very aesthetic foliage. The leaves emerge a light green in spring, age to dark green, then develop colourful shades of yellow in autumn before falling. It typically grows to 2.5 m tall and the same wide. Robinia pseudoacacia umbraculifera is commonly grown as a specimen, used in avenue plantings, added to a mixed planting, planted around outdoor living areas, or maintained in a courtyard garden.
