Well worth a visit, both for the opportunity to meet the Woody Plant Committee and to see the fantastic demonstration garden on 'Alternatives to Box'

[The RHS @The_RHS]

This Friday we will be hosting free talks about the best plants to mark your borders and boundaries by members of the RHS Woody Plant Committee in the Garden Room at @RHSWisley. Learn how to perfect your hedge.

The Allerton Oak crowned England's Tree of the Year. If we want more trees to thrive into magnificent old age like this one, we must protect and care for trees throughout their lives. https://t.co/renx3LreEx

In order of abundance, the Red Oaks you will see are Quercus rubra, Q. palustris, Q. coccinea and Q. texana (a.k.a. Q. nuttallii). Note petiole length and colour, hairs in vein axils below, depth of sinus, and length of needle-like extensions emerging from the tips of the lobes.

The American Catalpa bignonioides is the best-known member of the genus, cultivated in the UK since the 1700s, but it really misses the summer heat of its native eastern USA.

Catalpa ovata has pale creamy-yellow flowers but makes up for it with a delicious fragrance: one of the trees we looked at today at #kewgardens

[RHSWoodyPlants @WoodyRhs]

Members of the RHS Woody Plant Committee gathered under an old Catalpa bungei at #kewgardens collected by Ernest Wilson (as seed) about 110 years ago.

This very pretty Aesculus was in the @MorganStanley garden designed by @chrisbeardshaw at #RHSChelseaFlowerShow last week labelled A. pavia, but it's A. × mutabilis, with some uncertainty as to whether it's 'Induta' or 'Penduliflora', but probably the latter.

A very appropriate tribute to the great rose breeder David Austin snr, who died last year: the Monument wreathed in his roses #RHSChelsea2019
