A tree that has been grown in the field and then lifted out of the ground when dormant. Available from November to March. The roots are more open and the direct contact with the soil encourages them to settle in and establish more readily.
These are 2yr old trees that have been grown 1yr in the field and the second in a pot. Container trees can be planted at any time of the year but establish best when planted during the autumn and need to be watered well during the first summer.
The Halesia, commonly known as the silverbell tree, is a graceful and charming deciduous tree renowned for its cascading clusters of bell-shaped flowers. Native to North America, this tree belongs to the Styracaceae family and thrives in woodland settings or as an ornamental focal point in gardens.
Halesia trees are celebrated for their springtime display of delicate, pendulous white or pale pink flowers that appear in abundance before or as the foliage emerges. These blooms resemble tiny bells, creating a stunning visual effect that attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies. The tree’s green, oval-shaped leaves provide a lush canopy through summer, turning a soft yellow in autumn, adding seasonal beauty.
Silverbell trees prefer well-drained, slightly acidic soils and are best planted in partial to full sunlight. They are relatively low maintenance and can adapt to various garden conditions, making them an excellent choice for adding elegance and seasonal interest to your landscape.
Whether grown as a single specimen, in small groves, or along woodland edges, the Halesia tree brings a delicate yet striking aesthetic to any outdoor space.
