Fun Fauna Fact Friday

This week we are going to talk about trees that come into our lives without fail, once a year for the most of us. Christmas trees. There are many different cultivars that we might introduce into our homes for the winter season, the very common is the Norway Spruce (Picea abies), this is most likely to drop its needles but is the tree that most of us have had. There are many other Christmas trees which are able to hold their leaves and this includes the Korean Spruce (Abies koreana), or the Fraser Fir (Abies fraseri). These trees are relatively fast growing, which makes them the perfect plants to farm, curative and bring into the home every year. It usually takes 20 years to reach full maturity and height of around 20metres (65ft)!

Most Christmas trees are grown for the sole purpose of becoming beautiful decorations in your home and it is not a new tradition. The bringing of these trees into the home has been around for over 2000 years, since Jesus was around. Legend says that the first place to decorate these trees was in Riga, Latvia in 1510! Apparently they decorated the trees in paper flowers, sang and danced around it and then set the whole thing on fire. Something that we would not advise, best to keep them looking healthy and green for Christmas day at least.

Fun Fauna Fact Friday

This weeks fact is going to be on our favourite fruit Yuzu (Citrus junos). You may have seen this citrus fruit popping up all over fancy menus, in cocktails and even in beauty products. There is good reason too as the zest and and flavour of this east asian fruit is a citrus dream, think a mix between a mandarin and grapefruit.

This plant originates from China, Tibet region and has since spread and is very popular in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Australia. However now it is the world wide superstar fruit. What makes this citrus extra interesting is that it is the hardiest of the citrus fruits. It can withstand temperatures up to -9 degrees! In comparison to its cousins, lime (Citrus latifolia) trees will die if temperatures reach below 10 degrees.

From seed the tree will take 10/11 years to bare its first fruit. So the wait is long but interestingly the harvesting time is December, making it a winter speciality. The fruit isn’t exactly juicy, so eaten, but what is used is the super oily peel. This has a wide range of culinary uses. If you are super luxe then yuzu baths are the way to go. Simply chuck a few whole fruit into the bath and you will be smelling like a dream.

This weeks fact is going to be about our favourite tree, which is also our logo, Ginkgo biloba. These trees are considered to be living fossils as they date back to over 350 million years ago. Their leaves are also thought to provide medicinal benefits, as they contain ginkgolides.

What is even more interesting about ginkgo trees is that are they are classified as conifers. Conifers are mostly recognised by the fact that they don’t loose their leaves so are evergreen and that they produce cones. Examples of conifers are Scotts Pine (Pinus sylvestris), Blue Cedar (Cedrus Atlantica ‘Glauca’) and Noble Fir (Abies nobilis).

So the Gingko is a very unusual confier as it looses it leaves in the autumn (deciduous) and also doesn’t bare cones, but fruit (which smells like off butter).

We always make sure that we understand who is living in the hedge before we trim it. Birds need our green walls to nest and raise their young and make a home so we never disturb this. That is why winter is the best time to prune as it isn't in the nesting season (mostly from March-August)

🍁 Fun Fauna Fact Friday🍁

For our first Fauna Fact Friday we are going to speak about the Acer tree genus. These plants are very common throughout Europe, North America and Asia. There are many Acer trees around Eastbourne and some common cultivars include:

Red Maple (Acer rubrum)
Field Maple (Acer campestre)
Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus)
Japanese Acer (Acer palmatum)

Maple syrup is sourced from tapping into black, red, brown and silver maple trees trunk and allowing the sweet sticky liquid to come out. As the Sycamore is in the same genus you can actually do this to these very common trees. Unfortunately the syrup isn’t as sweet and you would have to collect a lot in order to make it taste anything similar to the maple syrup that we know and love.

Thanks for reading!

Formative pruning? This isn't important just for Bonsai trees but is also ideal for a range of young trees. If you are planting a new tree then you want to give it the best chance possible to grow successfully.

By trimming and removal of selective branches, this can improve the health and structure of the tree. For fruit trees, this is essential as you want to establish the correct branch structure so they can support a heavy harvest.

Winter is the best time for this as the trees are in their dormant period. For evergreens, the best time is in April before their new spring growth.

Get in touch and we will be happy to come by for an in-person quote.
