julibrissin MIMOSACEAE family Small deciduous tree, broadly set with a wonderful spread of leaves similar to the mimosa. It is divided up into numerous grass-green leaves and beautiful rose-tinted feathery inflorescences which bloom over an extended period of time from June onwards. This plant loves direct sunlight and well-drained soils, but isn't keen on harsh, cold weather. It can grow in soil rich in limestone. |
A vigorous tree of great dimensions, with large leaves made up of 5-7 smaller leaves coloured in grass-green, turning to an intense yellowish-gold shade in autumn. In the month of May, it is teeming in white flowers stained in shades of pink and yellow at their centres, giving way to prickly fruits which contain the characteristic chestnuts. These are, of course, inedible.
Its foliage is pyramidal-shaped, rather sparsely set and slender, made up of ovate leaves of dark-green shades in the upper parts and lighter green at their base. Yellow coloured male flowers bloom early spring.

ULMACEAE family
A deciduous tree, rustic, but elegant nonetheless. Its leaves are lance-shaped, fine-toothed, and rough to the feel underneath. Its bark is smooth and dark-grey coloured. It adapts particularly well to dry, calcareous land.
