Cephalotaxus fortunei Metasequoia glyptostroboides  Ginkgo biloba PLUM YEW (EDIBLE) DAWN REDWOOD  MAIDENHAIR TREE (EDIBLE) Description
Cephalotaxus fortunei (Chinese Plum Yew) This is a rarely offered, shrub-like, fruiting  evergreen which tolerates deep shade as well as the heat and the cold. The Chinese Plum Yew possess foliage resembling that of yews (Taxus) and the fruits on the female plants resembling tiny plums. The dioecious plant can only develop fruit if the female plant is planted together with at least one male pollinator. The growth is slow but accelerates with time - excellent in pots. The appearance of the evergreen is linear, spirally-arranged and yew-like with its leaves appearing in a v-shaped pattern on erect stems, many of which rise up from the base of the plant. The plants will spread with age. The fruits/nuts are edible when ripe and taste sweet with a hint of pine when roasted. Metasequoia glyptostroboides (Dawn Redwood) is an unusual, deciduous conifer tree, but can be kept as a shrub or hedge. Dawn Redwood is a living fossil, endangered in the wild. Dawn redwoods grow naturally in the remote province of Szechwan, China. This population was only discovered in 1940, before this time, scientists believed the plant is extinct and was only known through fossil records. They can be confused with Bald cypress but its leaves grow in an opposite arrangement, not in spiral. Dawn redwoods will not grow knees like Bald cypress, a tree that grows best in swampy conditions. Dawn redwood will thrive best in full sun and moist, deep, well drained soil, but it is drought tolerant. This plant can grow 50-80 cm a year, finally reaching 25-30m in height with a 6-8m spread but if pruned, they can be used as a high hegde or even a small solitaire tree in the garden. If planted into a pot, they can live on the patio or it can be formed into a bonsai. Dawn redwood trunks are remarkably straight and the tree grows in a tall, slender, pyramidal shape. Even the seedlings are very hardy and care-free. With their cinnamon colored, exfoliating bark and deciduous nature this plant can be a real pearl of any garden. The leaves turn a lovely bronze then brown colour in autumn.   Ginkgo biloba (Maidenhair Tree) is an unusual conifer, and a very ancient plant, you almost grow your own dinosaur if you have one. The fan-shaped leaves - composed of two lobes (biloba) that form a split in the middle of the leaf - and branching pattern (composed by long and very short branches) give a very distinct look to the plant. It can grow to large tree but can be grown in pot on the patio, or as a bonsai.
