Prunus Shirotae, also known as the "Mt. Fuji Cherry," is a cultivar of the cherry blossom tree, scientifically known as Prunus serrulata. It is a medium-sized tree that typically grows to a height of 5-6 metres. It is a deciduous tree that produces delicate, single-white flowers that bloom in early spring before the leaves appear. The flowers are large, with a diameter of 5-6 cm and are arranged in clusters. The leaves are oval-shaped and glossy green in colour. The tree is hardy and can tolerate a wide range of soil types and climates. It is commonly used as an ornamental tree in gardens and parks and is a popular choice for planting along streets and in public spaces. It's a popular cherry blossom variety in Japan.

Elaeagnus x ebbingei, also known as Ebbinge's Silverberry, is a versatile and dense evergreen shrub that provides both visual interest and functionality in the garden. Known for its glossy, dark-green leaves with silvery undersides, this plant showcases a year-round display of colour and texture. Come autumn, it further impresses with small, fragrant white flowers, followed by edible orange-red berries that attract birds and other wildlife.

Ebbinge's Silverberry is a hardy shrub, highly adaptable and tolerating a wide range of conditions including coastal exposure, wind, and poor soil. Reaching a height and spread of around 3.5m, it's an excellent choice for hedging, screening, or as a standalone feature. It responds well to pruning. Another benefit is that it fixes nitrogen into the soil so the plants around it can benefit too.
