The Nikko Maple is found in nature as a small tree, but it can grow as a shrub when cultivated by man. It loves deep and humid soils. It is appreciated as an urban decoration species because of the red Autumn leaves.

The Ginkgo (250 millions of years old) is one of the most ancient living beings on earth. It’s reproductive system is so old that no tree today has a similar one (only ferns and a few other plants). A long-time extinct in nature, Ginkgo has been preserved by monks, who cultivated it for thousands of years for it’s medical qualities. It is immune to pollution and to almost all of today’s parasites.

The Japanese Hop Hornbeam is a slow-growing but hardy, pest-resistant tree, with a rustic look. It is not considered decorative but it’s hardiness makes it a good choice for cities where pollution is an issue. The wood is very hard and tough, and it’s used for agricultural imple-ments.

This is the Japanese native variety of the Amur Cork-tree (Chinese). As the name implies, the bark is used for production of cork. The limited height and the thick foliage make it also ideal for decoration in a controlled urban environment, where it can offer a good shade without becoming too invasive.

The Hachiku bamboo is a cold-resistant species which can grow on almost all soil, as long as it is moist. Differ-ently from many other bamboos, it grows of preference under direct sunlight. The invasive roots of bamboos make them a good choice to fight terrain erosion.

The Koyama spruce is a relatively small, hardy spruce, easily recognizable for the pink-purple bark. It is a quite rare tree and not often found outside of native areas except for botanical gardens, yet it could be a highly decorative choice for urban parks and gardens.

Kanzan Cherry

It is probable that the Kanzan cherry is a garden hybrid of two popular Japanese wild cherries, Hill Cherry and Oshima Cherry. Kanzan is surely the most appreciated species for urban decoration, thanks to the spectacular blooming. Several cultivars of it exist, with varied blossoms.

The Yoshino Cherry has probably an ancient garden origin. The white blossoms (but subspecies exist with different colours) have an intense scent and appear at early Spring. The fruits are very sour and usually not eaten: the Yoshino Cherry is in fact mostly used for garden decoration.

This conifer can grow as a relatively tall tree in the wild, but in cultivations it can grow as a shrub. It is also know as “Rice tree” because the under side of leaves has a tiny white band. It is extremely cold-resistant and therefore planted as decorative essence in cold cities (such as Moscow).

Zelkovae are often planted as substitutes for Elms (decimated by graphiosis), and in fact they are Ulma-ceae too. The Japanese Zelkova can become a tall, spectacular tree; it is shade-tolerant and doesn’t need special care. The bark changes with age, from smooth to shaggy and rough.
