Wall Shrubs for The Prime Site Sh D Does well on any soil but liable to chlorosis in very alkaline areas. |
Use- As a fan-trained deciduous shrub for walls and fences, as well as a spiny hedge barrier. Foliage - Leaves elliptic, medium-sized, 3-4 inches (7.5-10 cm) long, light to dark green. Some yellow autumn colour. Stem - Upright when young and light green/brown, becoming dark brown, more twiggy and producing isolated large rigid thorns. Medium rate of growth. Fruit - Large, pear-shaped fruits follow the flowers, ripening to an attractive bright yellow. |
Pruning - Apart from growth required for fan shape, remove all previous season's growth back to 2 buds in spring before flowering, making sure that flowering buds are not removed. Training - Requires wires or individual anchor points to secure and encourage the fan-trained shape. Height/spread Problems - Intermittently produces very sharp thorns. May suffer fungus disease such as canker; prune out affected wood. Good companions |

Choisya ternata is Mexican Orange Blossom |
Fragrant, single, 0.5 inch (1 cm) wide, white, star-shaped, orange-scented flowers, borne in flat-topped clusters, late spring to early summer. Tolerates all but the most exposed aspects. Equally good in full sun or deep shade. |
They produce attractive white flowers (citrus fragrance) from late April to early June and sometimes a second flowering in October / November. |
After 10 years - 72 x 72 (180 x 180) |
Leaves glossy, mid to dark green, which when crushed give off an aromatic scent. |
Wall Shrubs for The Prime Site Sh E Does well on most, although very severe alkaline soils may lead to chlorosis. |
Use - As a very attractive evergreen shrub for scented, late spring to early summer flowering, but with training can become ann interesting wall shrub or an excellent low hedge. Choisyas can be grown in containers although they do need a bit of care in the winter. Potted plants are more susceptible to frost damage compared to those in the ground so we recommend placing your potted Choisya in a porch, open garage or in a protected position up against the house during the winter - November to March ideally. Foliage - Leaves glossy, mid to dark green, trifoliate, 3-6 inches (7.5-15 cm) long, which when crushed give off an aromatic scent. Stem - Light to bright green, glossy, upright, becoming spreading and twiggy with age, forming a fan-shaped shrub. Fast to medium rate of growth when young or pruned back, slowing with age. Fruit - Insignificant. |
Pruning - 3 methods of pruning are advocated:
Training - Requires wires or individual anchor points to secure and encourage the fan-trained shape. Height/spread Problems - If pruning is neglected, plant becomes old, woody and unproductive. Plants are always relatively small when purchased but quickly mature when planted out. |
Choisya 'Aztec Pearl'. Clusters of fragrant, pink-tinged white flowers in late spring. Choisya ternata 'Sundance'. Yellow/green foliage in spring, quickly becoming golden yellow which persists through winter. Slightly more tender. Two thirds average height an spread. Requires very light shade.
Partner plants - The glossy, evergreen leaves provide an excellent backdrop for medium-sized perennials and pale-grey or purple foliage plants. The secret to stunning shrubs? Mix woody plants with perennials. |

The Propagation of Alpines by Lawrence D. Hills. Published in 1950 by Faber and Faber Limited describes every method of propagation for 2,500 species. Unlike modern books published since 1980, this one states exactly what to do and is precisely what you require if you want to increase your alpines. |
