Bark can be just as eye-catching as flowers and foliage, adding texture, colour and character to the garden year-round. From elegant trees with white bark to rich red tones and decorative peeling bark, these beautiful features are particularly striking in winter, when bare branches reveal their full beauty.

Which beautiful bark or stem feature will you choose for your garden?

Striking white bark - Himalayan Birch are hard to beat
Patterned bark - Snake Bark Maples offer distinctive striped bark
Glossy bark - Tibetan Cherry stands out with their polished red-brown bark
Vibrant stems - Dogwood shrubs come with different coloured stems

Tip: For maximum impact, plant where they can be admired from a window in the winter months or against evergreen foliage to make their colours stand out.
