If you are looking for a climber, why not try something a little bit different. Solanum jasminoides 'Bleu' (Potato vine) is a fast-growing woody climber reaching up to 8 metres. It has green, semi-evergreen leaves and delicate baby blue, flowers in clusters through late summer into autumn. We think it's rather special.
Grow in full sun in moist but well–drained soil.

Sorbus ulleungensis ‘Olympic Flame’ (rowan) is a small, ornamental tree with strong wildlife value. It tolerates urban pollution well, making it an excellent choice for smaller or built-up spaces. It prefers moist, well-drained soil and features glossy green foliage that remains attractive throughout the growing season, before turning striking shades of fiery orange and red in autumn. In autumn, it produces abundant berries that are highly attractive to birds. A popular choice for smaller, urban gardens.
One of our favourites Cornus kousa 'Milky Way' (Flowering Dogwood). This is a real statement/feature tree. Large cream coloured petal-like bracts smoother the tree in June creating an unmistakable display, resulting in strawberry like fruits that appear alongside beautiful autumn colour.

As our climate shifts, choosing plants that can withstand both drought and periods of intense rainfall is becoming essential. The Met Office projects that by 2050, London could experience a climate similar to Barcelona; hotter, drier summers and heavier winter downpours.
This means the way we plant has to evolve. The trees we plant now have to be resilient to our current climate as well as our future climate. Here is a selection of hardy exotic trees to plant alongside our native favourites.
