Prunus serrulata 'Jo-nioi', Japanese flowering cherry trees. The medium sized trees grow in a goblet shape and produce a long lasting display of single, scented white cherry blossom and brilliant coloured leaves in autumn, They are planted behind a modern slate fence inspired by traditional slate fences of the local area. Originally slate fences were made from waste slabs, or off cuts from the local slate quarries. This one is made from specially ordered machine cut slabs from Penrhyn Quarry, Bethesda. They are a common and distinctive type of boundary in North Wales near the slate quarries where lower grade slate was plentiful, and a convenient alternative to stone walls and earthern banks. In recent times, as the quarries have ceased production, their use has largely been replaced by wooden posts and sheep netting. The base of the slabs are dug into the ground and a double strand of galvanised fencing wire is wound along the tops to hold them together.
