A real show stopper in any garden. Origin: Tropical high elevation cloud forests of Costa Rica, Brazil, and Columbia. Zone Range: 7-10, can be grown therefore only on southern part of Slovakia. Though considered hardy in zone 7, Gunneras grown in zones 7-8 need special care in order to survive winters by cutting down all greenery in late October to 30 cm of the root ball then placeing a thick layer of dry mulch over the crown for the winter. The mulch should be kept dry by a tarp or other rain proofing material. Remove mulch when last spring frost is past. Easy to grow. Plant growth after their first winter is incredible. Preferred Situation: Even temperature; evenly moist to boggy fertile soil. Authors differ in their opinion on Gunnera´s light requirements, some of them recommend ful sun, others part or dappled shade. Truth is probably, that it can flourish on both of these locations. When planting it, one successful approach is to fill a large planting hole with a mixture of loam and well-aged manure. Gunneras are heavy feeders and require a continual supply of water, however the crown must remain above water. Gunnera is suitable ground cover for parks or larger gardens. It is often used as an excellent excellent focal point beside ponds, lakes or streams. The coarse texture and size of this plant dictates that it be given ample room to sprawl. Flowers appear from July to August close to base of plant and resemble a corn cob. Small, delicate plants will be completely lost next to this massive conversation piece. pH Range: 5.5 to 7.

Dove tree is a moderately fast-growing tree, growing to about 20–25 m in height, with alternate cordate leaves resembling those of a linden in appearance. The Dove Tree is best known for its flowers. These form a tight reddish cluster about 1–2 cm across. Instead of petals each flower head has a pair of large (12–25 cm), pure white bracts at its base performing. These hang in long rows alongside the Dove Tree´s lower branches. The flowers are at their best in late May. On a breezy day, the bracts flutter in the wind like white doves or pinched handkerchiefs, hence the English names for this tree. The fruit is a very hard nut (about 3cm long) closed in a green husk attached to the tree by a 10cm long stalk. It contains 3-6 seeds. The tree itself is cone-shaped when young and rounded with thick branches in maturity. Dove Tree grows in hardiness zones 6-8 and therefore can be planted throughout Europe with exception of the cold mountainous ares. Requires sites in sun or partial shade and prefers moist, well drained soil. At young age Davidia can be helped by mulching and regular watering during dry spells and sheltering from cold winter winds.

Description:
Metasequoia glyptostroboides (Dawn Redwood) is the only living species in the ancient redwood genus Metasequoia. It is a fast growing deciduous conifer that can get up to 45m tall with a trunk diameter exceeding 2m. Its overall shape is conical, with a single straight bole and rich brown and gold autumnal tints. The leaves are pretty and rather feathery looking being composed of innumerable linear leaflets. These leaflets are 1-3 cm long, arranged in two opposite ranks, and bright fresh green. The needles are deciduous and even the smaller branchlets drop off in winter. In autumn, the foliage takes on a rich orange-brown or coppery color. The trunk is coloured orange-brown and becomes strongly fluted and buttressed at the base. The bark is reddish brown and fibrous, shredding and peeling in long, thin strips. The dawn redwood's massive fluted trunk is especially attractive in winter after the deciduous needle-like leaves drop. Metasequoia was first described as a fossil in 1941, but in 1944 a small stand of an unidentified tree was discovered in China and only finally described as a new living species of Metasequoia in 1948. Dawn redwood has been around for 100 million years, and probably was grazed by dinosaurs. It occurred throughout much of the world until it went extinct almost everywhere several million years ago. Today, dawn redwood grows naturally only in Sichuan and Hubei provinces in west-central China. The tree grows along rivers and around rice paddies where it is planted for soil stabilization. Metasequoia is an easy tree to grow in temperate regions, and is now widely planted as an ornamental tree. Planted specimens have already reached 25-40 m in height and 1-1.3 m in diameter, despite being in cultivation for under 60 years. Dawn redwood does well in normal, well-drained upland soils and also in wet, soggy soils. Once established, they can even survive in standing water. Trees in upland sites need watering during prolonged droughts. If left branched to the ground in full sun, will develop the large, contorted boles that have made it famous. Limbing at an early age will prohibit this formation later on. Dawn redwood is a very fast-growing tree that can reach 15m in height in just 15 or 20 years. It grows best in full sun. Hardiness: USDA Zones 5 - 9. Dawn redwood is a fine, stately specimen for large landscapes such as parks or golf courses. They make excellent avenue trees. Fast growing, with a dense, feathery texture, a stand of dawn redwoods creates an effective summertime visual screen and windbreak in just a few years. Fall color is excellent and even the winter silhouette is very attractive with its massive, fluted trunk and strong horizontal branches. Dawn redwoods are at their best along watercourses or ponds and as they can even tolerate standing water.
