Above - Celtis Afrikana or African White Stinkwood has a colour of bejewelled green leaves that are pretty with flowers in Springtime under aspects of full sun and afternoon shade. The tree is a feature plant that can withstand cold temperatures, is deciduous, is a rewarding landscape tree that easily as a well grown speciman grows up to 12m producing a single straight bole that branches out into overhanging dense semi-circular canopies. Their smooth grey white lengthy branch and bark are tell-tale signsof genus of tree.

Left - shrubs and trees took four heavy frost mornings this year that dismayed us however with a backlight idea, the colours of autumn appeard like jewels. The Golden Vine leaf suffered quite a thumping from the frost but is recovering at this point.
