This tree's story
The garden at Collingwood Grange, formerly The Grange was created by Collingwood Ingram (1880 1981) after WW 1. He collected plants from all over the world and bred many cultivars especially Rhododendrons. Two of his cultivars are in widespread cultivation: Rosemary Benenden Blue and Rubus tridel Benenden. Japanese cherries were his special love but few now survive at The Grange. One survivor is Tai Haku, the Great White Cherry, which he saved from extinction and is now planted in gardens all over the world.
