Achamore Gardens

South Walled Garden

Now no longer used for fruit and vegetables, the South Walled Garden has been reclaimed and planted in a similar way to the north section. The central herbaceous border has been retained however and there is a fine Pinus montezumae (Mexico).
Other plants include Echium pininana (Canaries), Clianthus puniceus (lobster claw, red and white colour variety from New Zealand), Beschorneria yuccoides (Mexico), Metrosideros lucida (New Zealand Christmas tree), and Callistemon phoeniceus (bottle brush - Australia). There are also various Rhododendrons including Rh. yakusimanum. In the grassed area where the fruit cages originally were a monkey puzzle tree has been planted and also Cedrus deodar. The peacocks can often be seen here.
