Create an instant impact in your garden with standout specimens and pots from our specially curated ‘Instant Impact’ Area. This space is packed with mature trees, shrubs pots and statues chosen for their ability to transform a garden in moments.

To help you picture the possibilities, the plants are laid out as if they’re already growing in a garden setting. This makes it easy to visualise how they’ll look and feel in your own outdoor space – whether you’re adding structure, screening or a real showpiece.

Choose from tall palms, striking silver birches or the layered elegance of Cornus controversa – the Wedding Cake Tree.

Prefer a Mediterranean feel? Pick from gnarly old olive trees, palms, or pencil cypress for low-maintenance, sun-loving style.

Topiary fans will find an inspiring range of spirals, balls, pyramids and standards – perfect for architectural or formal designs. Use a single standard as a focal point or create a stately look with a pair by your doorway.

If privacy is your priority, consider pleached trees or screening shrubs to shield your space from prying eyes. Many of our specimens are evergreen, offering year-round structure and interest.

Whatever your garden needs, there’s something here to make a bold, beautiful statement. Come and explore the Instant Impact Area at South Downs Nurseries today.
