Garden Each tree of the same species is vital to its neighbours. For instance, if one dies then winter storms can whip through and batter the trees about, whilst in the heat of the summer, the exposed forest floor dries out and reduces the amount of water that reaches the trees’ root systems. Alternatively though, one of the seedlings battling away on the forest floor with its handkerchief of sunlight will surely benefit from a bit more light. The other interesting thing about the few days we spent walking in chalk country was the difference between native species growing there and those that we are used to here in the Weald with our oak, hornbeam, sweet chestnut, field maple, hazel and ash. There we spotted the Wayfaring Tree, Viburnum lantana, so called in the sixteenth century by the herbalist, Gerard, who recorded it in 1597 growing on the routes between Wiltshire and London. An older name for this native hedgerow plant is ‘Hoarwithy’. ‘Hoar’ meaning grey haired. Both the twigs and the undersides are covered with a thick layer of downy grey hairs (tomentum). This is a lovely shrub which not only has umbels of creamy white flowers in the spring but follows these with an autumn display of deep red leaves and clusters of black berries. And not only that, the plant provides food for several moth species when they are in their larval form. We also spotted Prunus padus, the bird cherry. After years of taking the same route up to the Ridgeway from the village, this time we were stopped in our tracks by the sight of a hedgerow shrub with distinctive prunus leaves and great clumps of black fruits. We’ve had three bird cherries planted together at home for years but they have never produced berries or for that matter, the white frothy, almond scented blooms we thought we might see in spring. I think we planted them with the flowers in mind as they are a magnet to all manner of pollinating insects. Maybe these three are too exposed and isolated in their current position. I suspect that might be the problem. And then there was a mature specimen of our native Euonymus alatus with distinctive ‘corky’ wings on its branches and a few pinky red fruits opening up to bright orange coated seeds. It’s amazing how much you can miss trudging along in the countryside. We hadn’t really noticed those very distinctive branches before. By the Smithy on the same day were several spindle trees, Euonymus europaeus, but these really couldn’t be missed with their great clouds of scarlet capsules opening to reveal their orange seeds on rather leafless, arching branches. Both of these euonymus make smashing garden shrubs for autumn interest and, of course, there are cultivars of both which are particularly good. E. ‘Red Cascade’ AGM has arching branches absolutely laden with red fruits, combined with scarlet autumn colour. Euonymus are so varied. I remember one smasher growing away at Sheffield Park a few years ago. We made a note of it as one to look out for. What an absolutely lovely plant. E. hamiltonianus subs. sieboldianus, is related to E. europaeus and its autumn leaf colours of pink, red and yellow combines rather startlingly with bright pink fruits to very dramatic effect.
