    Tree Hydrangea

    I saw a beautiful shrub today and was told it was a tree hydrangea. It was absolutely stunning, covered in white flowers and looked like something that belongs in the movies growing in the bayou! A quick search at our local biggest garden centre has drawn a blank and confused faces. Anyone any more info about these, especially if they are available to buy online? (or Somerset/Devon/Dorset area - I'm so in love with it I'll travel )

    Hi Bibliobeck
    Just had a quick look on google and these plants seem to be a USA thing. Ithink that they are standard versions of a variety called PeeGee. Have alook but I couldn't find any in UK - there are 8 on E bay in USA though postage may be prohibitive !

      Thanks for looking Rat. I gave myself a google-headache last night, but I can't find anything that looks right. The plant I saw had a very 'flat' branch system (a bit maple-ish) and the flowers were quite flat as well - not the usual conical/rounded hydrangea flowers. Wish I'd had my camera with me - typical!
      Perhaps it's one of those things that will always remain a mystery...still at least I've seen some interesting American specimens

        If it had flat flowers and maple like leaves it could be Hydrangea petiolarus (climbing hydrangea)

          Been googling again and you may be right rat! Thanks so much - I'll be researching this further in the real world (read spending money at the nursery ) once work stops getting in the way
