Does that name sound familiar? Probably because he’s co- owner of Xera Plants and the author of Black Plants: 75 Striking Choices for the Garden from Timber Press. I had the opportunity to visit Paul’s garden a couple weekends ago and while I was happy to have a beautiful sunny Saturday it certainly didn’t make for a great photo taking experience. There were so many fabulous plants that in my photos just look like a shiny greenish blob! Ah well, we take the sun when we can get it here and don’t complain! The directions to his house included the line "there's a big Eucalyptus in front" yep, he wasn't kidding. And it's breathtaking, much more beautiful than you can tell in these photos (it's Eucalyptus pauciflora debeuzevillei, which btw the Mulchmaid featured as her "favorite plant" last week). The parking strip was full of some of my favorites. The silver plant is Curry Plant (Helichrysum) And this bottle-brush is Callistemon pityoides 'Excellent' Yucca linearifolia Yucca rostrata Agave bracteosa And although I failed to get a good overall photo of them there are also a pair of Albizia julibrissin ‘Summer Chocolate.’ Paul describes his garden as formal, which I can't help but hear as "uptight"...but it's not. The trees along the sidewalk are Osmanthus x burkwoodii, kind an experiment he said (they're still being trained to stand tall and straight). The garden is only two years old... I'm going to call it formalized chaos (which is meant as a compliment). Leptospermum lanigerum 'Silver Form' I believe... Up against the front of the house I spy a palm, grevillea, astelia... And over against the fence this Indigofera decora is blooming like mad! Isn't it beautiful? This plant is one I loved when I saw it at Xera but managed not to buy. Then I saw it here. In bloom. I've since bought it, and yes it's Caesalpinia gilliesii (Bird of Paradise Shrub)...we'll see how it does for me. It does look pretty fabulous with those burgundy leaves too (which I forgot to ask the name of but coordinate with the house trim wonderfully). This damn restio (Rhodocoma capensis) is following me! (I can hear it saying buy me buy me buy me quietly) Got cracks in your sidewalk? Plant them! Looking back out at the street the formal design becomes more apparent. On the left... And on the right. Don't you just love how the unusual glass fence post finial makes the new foliage pop? Okay we've moved to the back garden now where a tiny patch of lawn remains and there's another Albizia julibrissin ‘Summer Chocolate.' Ceanothus topaz with Choisya x 'Goldfingers' I'm in love with this ceanothus... Look at those long blooms and red/brown stems! Crape myrtle, of which he has several and I can't remember which one this is... Love the Stipa barbata... I mean really love it and I am finally going to have to break down and buy some! It's a Pluot! Which is a combination of plum and apricot. Along the garage (on the left) is a pair of Feijoa sellowiana (Pineapple Guava). They both had flower buds so naturally as soon as I got home I searched mine for any signs of flowering. Nothing. That little cutie supervising the garden tour is Miles... And this purple groundcover is another one I flirt with buying but so far haven't managed to commit to (Acaena inermis purpurea). Schefflera taiwaniana Take a look at what it's doing...the new flush of leaves isn't just coming from the central growing point. Nope this thing has like a million branches forming! It looks nice with its neighbor the Mahonia fortunei. And this sweet little Rhododendron. And look another Rhododendron... Kniphofia thompsonii snowdenii Telopea, but I can't remember which one! You can see it's expired protea-ific bloom on the right. Here Miles is playing the "I can't see you" game using an Embothrium coccineum leaf to hide behind. Finally I couldn't resist another photo of the Albizia. His all came from the same big orange bargain box that mine did, but his look so much nicer! That's the tour! Again I regret the full sun conditions didn't allow for great photos...hopefully you still got a sense of how many fabulous plants Paul has squeezed into a small garden and yet maintained his formal design. Thanks for the tour Paul! All material © 2009-2013 by Loree Bohl for danger garden. Unauthorized reproduction prohibited.

The Holly tree is one of the most beloved, respected trees in Celtic mythology and is the evergreen twin of the Oak. It is said, that whilst the Oak was the controller of the light half of the year, the Holly tree controlled the dark, winter months. Traditionally, the Holly tree is highly sacred in Celtic mythology and symbolises peace and goodwill. Due to its resistance to lightning, it is associated with the Celtic and Norse gods of thunder, Taranis and Thor, and so was planted near dwellings to protect people from lightning strikes. Druids believed the Holly tree to possess protective qualities, such as guarding against evil spirits and bad luck. Legend has it that bringing the leaves inside during the winter months would provide shelter from the cold for fairies, who in return would be kind to those who lived in the dwelling. For centuries this magical tree has been represented by a Holly wreath which was worn as a crown by Celtic chieftains for good luck. Traditionally, it was used to protect newborn babies from harm by bathing them in the water from the leaves. The Holly tree's abundance of spiked leaves are a great spot for garden birds to safely make their nests, providing a natural protection from predators. These trees are also particularly wonderful in spring, as the delicate, scented flowers are loved by bees and butterflies. Few know that a Holly tree is either male or female, this becomes apparent as the tree matures; the male Holly tree has pale yellow flowers and the female’s are white! The fantastic Holly tree can be viewed here.

You are purchasing 4 fresh cuttings from our American Holly trees (Ilex opaca). 2 males and 2 females for the beautiful red berries in the fall. They are 6 to 8 inches long and are fresh cuttings. Place in warm water immediately upon receipt for a couple of hours. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and place most of the cutting in dampened potting soil, firming the mix around the cutting. Set the plant pot outside in a hole in the ground in a sheltered area, so that it is level with the soil. The cutting will take 12 to 16 weeks to root. In the spring, you can lift out the pot and transplant the newly rooted holly tree cuttings in a larger pot or directly in the soil where it will receive plenty of sunlight. This all around American winner is naturally adapted to growing in native USA soil. Found in nature as an under story tree in New England forests, you know that you can plant this tall beauty in a somewhat shaded area of your yard and it will do just as well as in full sun. From the coast of Massachusetts to southern Florida and west past the Mississippi River is the American Holly tree’s native range.
The Oakland™ Oak Leaf Holly Tree is a new and exciting variety of holly that has unique foliage and a dense, pyramidal form. The evergreen leaves are a semi-glossy rich green and formed somewhat like an oak leaf, rather than like a traditional holly leaf. It grows into a dense pyramid without needing pruning and will grow 15 feet tall, and eventually 20 feet tall, with a width of between 8 and 15 feet, depending on its age and growing conditions. It will grow in any kind of soil, from dry sand to wet clay, and thrives in sun or partial shade. Not only does this tree look fresh and bright every day of the year, but in winter it will be smothered in orange-red berries. It can be planted as a specimen tree, a background shrub, and it also makes a great barrier and privacy screen, needing no pruning or trimming to quickly grow into a solid wall of beautiful green. Unique oak-like leaves on a holly bush Beautiful evergreen semi-glossy foliage Spectacular winter display of orange-red berries Grows in all kinds of soil and levels of moisture Excellent choice for a specimen or a screen As an added bonus, the Oakland Holly Tree is special among hollies, since it is able to fertilize its own flowers and will produce a heavy crop of berries without needing a male tree to do so. It is free of significant pests and diseases and will usually not even be bothered by deer. If you are looking for a reliable large evergreen bush or tree, that is also something different, and which you won’t see in every garden around you, then the Oakland Holly Tree is the tree you are looking for.
