Nangle&Niesen
Wholesale Tree Nursery Cork

At Nangle and Niesen we have put a particular emphasis on developing our range of multistem trees. Over the past 10 years this has resulted in the excellent choice and quality now available for our clients.

We have some wonderful specimens from the beautifully coloured Acer cappadocicum “aureum” (Caucasian Maple) to the striking bark of the Betula utilis Jacquemontii (Himalayan Birch). Others include the red flower of the Crataegus paul’s Scarlet (Hawthorn) and the bountiful berries of the Viburnum opulus (Guelder Rose).

Multistem trees will provide screening and shade while adding real structural impact with decorative stems and bark. A prime example is the Betula utilis Jacquemontii which provides a great feature throughout the winter.

Feel free to browse through our stock, we are always happy to talk about our trees. Visits to the nursery are welcome by appointment and are a great way to experience our trees for yourself.

  • "Ulmus glabra (Wych Elm) is a native elm to the UK and here in Ireland. Hop like greenish flowers are produced in the spring before large vigorous leaves cover the weeping crown in the summer months. It is mushroom shaped with thick branches cascading downwards and this is why it is considered Dutch elm disease resistant as it generally grows lower than the 15 feet of the infecting flying beetle. It's green leaves turn yellow and brown in autumn and it thrives on most soil types. Can grow up to 20 metres with a maximum 7 to 8 metre spread."
  • "Tilia cordata Winter Orange has uniquely orangey red stems that glow firey orange throughout the winter. This beautiful tree is a new variety of the Small Leaved Lime Tilia cordata which was found as a seedling in the Netherlands in the 1970’s. It has the characteristic heart shaped leaves of its parent which are lime green throughout the summer time. Fragrant creamy white flowers appear in July. In the autumn time the leaves are early to turn and fall, at which point they become a bright buttery yellow. Throughout the winter time this tree gives its most vivid display, when the red buds and orange shoots are the most prominent. Tilia cordata Winter Orange is a medium to large tree with crown which is broadly oval at maturity. Being part of the Lime family, it is a tough performer, tolerating the rigours of the urban environment and a range of soil conditions including clay."
  • "Syringa Vulgaris Michel Buchner Common Lilac is a wonderful deciduous shrub or small tree that will produce impressive double blooms, showing off large trusses of upright pale pink flowers that are highly fragrant. Michel Buchner flowers later than most varieties of Common Lilac, usually around May to June. All Syringas love the sun and flower reliably every year.

The imparipinnate leaves consist of 15-17 leaf segments. They are glossy dark green and in autumn turn intensely orange-red to red. In May and June the white flowers appear in wide corymbs. They are followed by more or less pear-shaped, orange-red fruits that remain on the tree until into winter, provided they are not eaten by birds. Healthy tree that was named in a Swedish research programme. The seed from which ‘Dodong’ was produced was collected in 1976 by a Swedish-Danish expedition to the Korean island of Ullung Do. Dodong is the name of the island’s port."
  • "This tree would brighten up any garden with its cheerful orangey-yellow berries in late summer and autumn, particularly dazzling on a sunny day. These berries are larger and brighter than those of Sorbus Joseph Rock. Upright in shape, though broadening later, and with an open canopy of feathery leaves, it will grow to 8-10 metres. White spring flowers in clusters are a good nectar supply for insects. In the autumn the leaves turn from green to shades of red and orange."
  • "Sorbus commixta Embley, known as Chinese Scarlet Rowan, was introduced into the UK in the 1880s and originates from Japan and Korea. It is looser in habit than our native rowan and its feathery green summer foliage turns to a magnificent scarlet in the autumn. White flowers are produced in the spring which gives rise to clusters of orange berries by late summer. A great tree for wildlife, this garden tree thrives best on free draining soils.Sorbus commixta Embley has silver lenticels on its juvenile trunk and stems and its new season buds are red."
  • "Quercus ilex (Holm Oak) is a variety of evergreen oak, growing to approximately 20-25m in height. Its tolerance of many growing conditions and pollution make it a very versatile plant, often used in urban and coastal settings. Alternatively it can be used for hedging, windbreaks and topiary. Left to grow on its own, it will become a large, structural tree with a rounded crown. Catkins appear in the Spring, followed by small acorns which will mature the same year. The leaves of Quercus ilex are dark green and leathery with a whitish underside. Often the lower leaves are spiny, giving a resemblance to the Common Holly, which is also where the name comes from. It is thought that it may have developed this characteristic to prevent grazing by animals. Native to the Mediterranean region and is often found growing on its own or with Cedrus atlantica in the Moroccan Atlas mountains."
  • "Medium-size tree with a regular crown growing to around 15 m. Has a good ascending growth habit and an upright central leader. When young, the crown is narrow but later it becomes broad oval to round. The grey bark is deeply grooved. Young twigs are strikingly thick and covered with dense downy hair. The large leaves are tough and leathery. The leaf is obovate, matt dark green and can reach 25 cm long and half as wide. It does not take on a nice autumn colour but the leaves remain on the tree all winter. The acorns are in small clusters. They are around 2 cm in size and about half enclosed by the cupule. This cultivar was selected by the De Belders on their estate, Hemelrijk, in Belgium from seeds that Carl Ferris Miller had collected when visiting Korea. Miller was an American who founded the Chollipo Arboretum in South Korea. A lovely park tree."
  • "Prunus x yedoensis is a cross between Prunus speciosa and Prunus x subhirtella. This superbly pretty tree is hard to beat when in full flow. A broad, flat crowned tree, Prunus x yedoensis has arching branches which create an almost weeping effect. It is of medium height and puts on a wonderful display of almond-scented, blush-white blossom in late March and early April. The fruits are dark red, almost black. Lovely as a park tree and also very good on broad verges."
  • "Prunus Umineko is a medium to large tree at maturity, producing a crown which is fairly upright when it is young, broadening to an upside down vase shape at maturity. It is a cross between Prunus incisa and Prunus speciosa and won the Award of Merit in 1928. It is sometimes referred to as Snow Goose and those after this species should be comfortable with planting cherries labelled as Umineko instead. Like most cherries this tree will thrive in all soils providing they free draining. This super tree is vigorous and robust and will give a reliable performance year on year out. It has a lovely regular shape for a cherry and looks super planted as an avenue."
  • "This pretty cherry is most notable for its stunning golden orange, smoothly polished bark, which is as impressive in young trees as it is in mature ones. Like Prunus serrula Tibetica, the bark really is this trees crowning glory, with the offering of white flowers that are similar to Bird Cherry flowers, being more of a token gesture than a glorious display. The flowers appear early in spring, followed by small, deep green leaves which have a serrated edge to them. In autumn the foliage turns a clear yellow, which contrasts nicely with the golden orange bark.Prunus maackii Amber Beauty is a strong growing cherry tree and will tolerate a range of tougher environments including streets and paved areas. The crown is upright when the tree is young, broadening to a more rounded shape with age. Like all cherries, this tree prefers to be planted in free draining soils and does not enjoy having wet feet."
  • "Prunus incisa 'The Bride' creates an abundance of white flowers that adorn the naked branches of this dense and shrubby small Fuji Cherry tree. In March-April, pale pink buds open to large white, single flowers that display contrasting bright red flower anthers. Delicate serrated foliage is mid-green before turning flaming shades of red and orange in autumn."
  • "Prunus avium Plena is the spectacular double flowered variety of the wild cherry which has been in cultivation for over 200 years. Prunus avium Plena is a medium sized, deciduous tree which can reach up to 15m in height and grows with an conical open shape and an even, symmetrical crown. Ideally it is planted as a park or woodland tree but it can also be used in urban environments given the right conditions. In Spring, the magnificence of this tree shows when it is laden with the brilliant double white flowers, hanging in pendulous clusters from the branches. The leaves emerge with a bronze tinge to them, becoming mid green and elliptical as they mature. In Autumn they turn vibrant shades of reds, oranges and yellows. Prunus avium Plena is a sterile variety and so has no fruit unlike Prunus avium. Like most varieties of ornamental cherry, Prunus avium Plena grows best in a position with full sun and a neutral-alkaline, free draining soil (not acidic). They don’t like to get their feet wet and so will not tolerate waterlogged or wet ground."
  • "Prunus Accolade as a flowering cherry is a cross between Prunus sargentii and Prunus x subhirtella and so inherits the best features of both, namely profuse pink flowers in spring as well as a smattering in winter. An outstandingly fine small tree Prunus Accolade has a rounded and spreading habit with semi-double pink blossoms which are hard to rival. Tolerant of most soils, including calcareous ones, this is a good choice for streets, parks and gardens."
  • "Platanus orientalis Minaret is a cultivar of Plane tree with a highly dissected leaf. Originally from Asia Minor and India, the Oriental plane has long been planted as a shade tree owing to its widely spreading branches. This cultivar of Oriental Plane has very deeply dissected, large, bright green leaves, which have 5 lobes. In autumn they turn yellow and brown before falling. As the tree matures the bark forms a patchwork effect by flaking off in sections in the same way that London Plane does. Platanus orientalis Minaret produces a large, round headed tree at maturity. It is a tough contender that will tolerate air pollution and compaction and does well on all soils, including clay."
  • "Pinus sylvestris (Scots Pine) is a large evergreen tree which is distinctive by its tall, bare trunk and broadly pyramidal crown. It is best suited in parks, gardens, heath land and woodlands. It is tolerant of most soils but will not thrive in areas prone to flooding or near the coast. A familiar sight in bleak and inhospitable landscapes it has paired needles which can be very variable in colour from green to almost blue, especially when juvenile."
  • "Pinus nigra nigra (Austrian Pine) is referred to as Black Pine with its dark greyish-brown to black bark and is a tough two needled evergreen. Its needles are much greener and longer than the Scots Pine and its growth more solid giving it a denser habit. Fast growing, it is an ideal choice for coastal areas and exposed, windswept sites, and even in very chalky soils. This large evergreen that can grow to well over 20 metres has a pyramidal form but retains its bushy, juvenile appearance much longer than Scots Pine."
  • "Parrotia persica (Persian Ironwood) is a small tree with a broad, oval crown. With its stunning display of autumn colour displaying shades of red, orange and purple, it is an ideal tree for specimen planting in a park or large garden. Prior to that it displays red shoots and bronze edges to its deep green leaves. It does well on most soils in full sun for the best colour."
  • "Malus Red Sentinel is a fruiting Crab Apple that was brought into cultivation in 1959, it is a favourite for gardeners who are looking for winter interest. The white, single flowers emerge during April, at the end of the flowering succession of Amelanchier, Magnolia and Prunus, followed only by Malus varieties. The leaves emerge shortly after the flower, starting a coppery red before turning to green. The bright red crab apples appear as the summer draws to an end and autumn arrives, often forming so numerously that the branches can be weighted down, as such we tend to remove them when this is the case to prevent the shape from being damaged. If they are not preyed upon by the birds, these attractive crabs can remain on the tree well into the winter time. Malus Red Sentinel has a compacted, round crown as it develops into maturity and like other Crab Apples will tolerate a range of soil conditions including clay. It is a very useful selection for people who wish to have colour and flower, yet have a clay soil which limits the use of a Japanes cherry."
  • "Malus Evereste (Crab Apple) is a rounded tree of medium height with flowers that are red in bud before turning white and a blossom which is borne in profusion. The small fruits are held onto until they are taken off by the birds after Christmas. The orange-yellow autumn foliage holds well and is great for gardens parks and verges. Grows best on moderately fertile soil and will tolerate partial shade."
  • "Magnolia Liliflora Susan is a hardy bushy tree-form magnolia. It is deciduous with dark green leaves emerging in spring. Magnolia Susan is a showy Magnolia with sumptuous, goblet-shaped, very dark purple-red flowers produced in late spring / early summer and intermittently into autumn. This is a small magnolia reaching a max height of 3 meters and spread of 1 metre. It will thrive in either full sun or partial shade. Despite its delicate appearance it will survive sub-zero temperatures and flower the following spring. It likes moist, well drained soils but will tolerate most conditions unless they are very chalky. To obtain the best flowers choose a sheltered and sunny spot. Gusty winds batter the sumptuous blooms and late frosts can damage buds so it’s best to keep this magnolia from frost pockets. It grows well in partially shady conditions too. Before planting Magnolia Susan put plenty of organic matter in the hole and cover the base with a thick layer of mulch each year. Water your magnolia tree regularly until it’s established. Magnolia Susan is a slow grower and suitable for smaller gardens. You can also grow them in large deep containers if you are able to provide water and food on a regular basis. If you have very chalky soil containers are the best way to grow magnolias. There is usually no need to prune magnolia, particularly the Susan variety, as the erect compact habit keeps itself neat. If you need to cut back damaged or crossed branches do so in mid-summer."
  • "The flowers of Magnolia stellata are always a welcome sight as they burst open on bare branches, heralding the start of spring. A native of Japan, Magnolia stellata still grows there in the wild alongside streams, at elevations up to 600m. It is a slow growing deciduous shrub eventually reaching up to 4m in height and width. The growth is ovate and upright when young spreading with age to form a beautiful rounded shrub or small tree. Early in the spring before the leaves appear, the grey silky buds open and allow the large white, starry flowers to unfurl. Made up of over a dozen tepals, they can be up to 4 inches across and with a delicate, subtle fragrance. Depending on the air temperature, they can sometimes have a slight blush of pink to them. The flowers can be tender to hard frosts and so it is best to position the plants somewhere with shade early in the morning and sun later in the day. When the foliage appears, it has a bronzy tinge, maturing to a dark green oblong leaf, smaller than many other species of Magnolia. In Autumn, it has a red-green knobbly fruit which splits to reveal orange seeds inside. It is not uncommon for the fruit to drop before it develops fully. Closely related to Magnolia kobus, it was previously considered to be a variety of this but was later confirmed to be its own species. Magnolia loebneri was bred by using Magnolia stellata and Magnolia kobus as the parent plants."
  • "Magnolia loebneri Snowdrift is a hybrid of M. kobus and M. stellata, forming a small tree or large shrub, and producing a profusion of white flowers in April. 'Snowdrift' has particularly large flowers and slightly larger leaves. The flowers appear as a goblet then unfold into a star-shape. It will succeed well on all types of well-drained soil, including chalk. Full sun or partial shade. Very hardy."
  • "Magnolia x loebneri Leonard Messel is one of the most beautiful magnolias producing abundant dainty white-lilac flowers in spring. It only makes a small tree so it is perfect for a garden and it is reasonable lime tolerant. There can be as many as 12 to 15 petals on a single glorious flower and in the spring the tree is smothered with velvety cased buds waiting to burst."
