We’ve been working with Millbrook for the last decade. Whilst their wonderful environment makes for a great visit any time of the year, Autumn has to be a highlight.
There is a magic to it. Maybe even a romance. A brisk walk on a clear day, when you can see your breath and the fallen, golden leaves crumple deliciously beneath your feet, is uniquely invigorating. It’s a gentle disconnection from the worries of the world.
FRAXINUS excelsior – European/English Ash, golf course planting
We have the FRAXINUS excelsior – European or English Ash. The straight trunk leads to a dense, rounded crown, which takes on a truly regal appearance in autumn as it shimmers in the most vibrant golden colours. It’s easy to see why this fast growing, deciduous tree has a prominent place in many large gardens.
Above: ACER – Maple – selection of varieties in the golf course planting.
Providing the colour and that perfect Autumnal backdrop are trees from around the world. There’s the ACER rubrum – Canadian Maple. It’s tidy, compact and upright, with the most brilliant red leaves in the classic maple leaf shape.
The ACER platanoides – Norway Maple has a more rounded crown and will showcase a golden yellow, giving way to a more fiery red as the season progresses. It’s an excellent shade tree, very hardy and well suited in street and park settings.
