A small, ornamental tree with striking summer flowersHoheria sextylosa 'Snow White' is a small tree that keeps its ornamental character throughout the year with its elegant and persistant foliage, its glorious summer flowers and its naturally pyramidal habit.

The long and clearly toothed leaves are a brilliant green inserted in an attractive, black wood.Hoheria sextylosa 'Snow White' can grow to 4 or 5 metres in 20 years but readily accepts pruning. It may therefore also be used in hedges or maintained as a miniature if necessary.Ideally it prefers a mild, oceanic climate but is nevertheless hardy up to -10°.

Its habit, adaptation to different soil conditions and resistance to disease and urban conditions make it ideal for low-maintenance or no-maintenance areas along roadsides or in urban parks
Perfumed flowers in summer and a superb coral-red foliage in winter
In winter its stems and foliage acquire a pronounced, beautiful and decorative coral-red all through the height of the plant.In addition to its winter colours, Trachelospermum jasminoides Winter Ruby® has other advantages over typical jasmines. Its elegant foliage is livelier and brighter. It resists frost better (as low as -17°C), is more persistent and retains its leaves better which don't dry out in winter.Its generous white flowers bloom slightly earlier (between May and July in full sun, from June to September where it's partly shaded) and are all just as perfumed. It doesn't grow as tall (2 to 3 m) as typical jasmines (up to 5 m or more).For its compact form, its natural branching and abundant flowering, Winter Ruby® is an ideal variety for growing in pots with supports of 40 cm to 1.5 m.
Resistant to the Dutch elm disease, our towns and countryside have found the elm again.
Tested by INRAE, this hybrid is the result of cross fertilization of six French varieties, plus an English and a Chinese one. It is resistant to the Dutch elm disease.Its bark is smooth.

In the autumn it has a beautiful golden yellow tint.In March, before the leaves, grow discreet flowers in the shape of little red globules without petals.Its slender trunk gives LUTECE® a perfect aptitude for a high-stem training, better than Ulmus RESISTA® 'Sapporo Gold'; growing naturally its habit is regular and homogeneous. It also makes a very good shrub. It is fast growing.Perfectly adapted to landscape hedges, this cultivation is equally interesting planted in groups on an embankment for example, but also as individual tree or grown in line if it has been grown as a full standard.The name of LUTÈCE® was given to it in recognition of the help provided by Parks and Gardens Department of the city of Paris for having taken care of a field of experimentation in the Vincennes Park.
Excellent alignement tree resistant to Dutch Elm Disease.
Selected, tested and compared by INRAE, notably in a plantation in the Vincennes forest in Paris since 1983, this elm selection shows a good resistance to Dutch Elm Disease, and this without suffering damage through other agents, such as insects, pathogenes fungi or summer drought.The strong green foliage honeycombed, toothed and well veined is similar to the indigenous European elms.It is of upright growth, slimmer and higher than LUTECE®.VADA® has all the qualities of an excellent alignment tree, or planted individually.
