Wildlife & Ecological Notes
Photinia fraseri 'Pink Marble' produces clusters of small white flowers in spring, which provide a nectar source for bees and other pollinators. The dense evergreen foliage offers year-round shelter and nesting habitat for garden birds.
As a fast-growing evergreen, it also provides effective screening and windbreak habitat, supporting a range of insects and small mammals in garden environments.

Bealtby plants arrived in perfect condition
Stoneybrook dispatched good quality plants, but unfortunately the first order was badly damaged by the courier. After a quick chat a replacement batch of equally good plants was sent with no further charge. This is why I prefer to order plants from smaller nurseries like Stoneybrook that really care about plants and their customers!
