These are Photinia 'Red Robin' standards. Its an evergreen plant that's often used for hedging and trees.They has glossy green leaves with parrot-red new growth and flowers during the spring, which you can see in this photo.

Hi paulineewilson, to add more interest, you could possible consider lifting a paving slab here and there that won't compromise the main areas you would walk on regularly. Where you've chosen to lift a slab, you could add some fragrant plants such as lavender or herbs that tolerate being trodden on occasionally. The spare slab you've lifted could then be placed further away from your house to create another planting square. into this you could plant one of those tall pencil-thin Italian evergreen trees. Your patio would gain more 3D interest if you used a few plants that are tall and narrow and evergreen. Tall evergreens provide shade in summer and winter interest. I would check with your garden centre the distance you should plant these Italian evergreens trees cannot damage buildings or drains with roots. I'd also perhaps consider making the table area of your patio a curved semi-circle shape rather than have 90 degree angles. I am sure you will enjoy tweaking your patio as the basic design is lovely!

Weeducks, yes, Malaysia actually. I've worked in much of this region over the 28 years I've been out here. Emmerline, I am sat here at 7pm as I write this - it is 35 centigrade and extremely humid (because it has cooled down a bit since mid afternoon). I wanted some exercise yesterday and had to wait till after 9pm before it dropped below 30 centigrade - and then only just. Midnight still saw 26 and early morning isn't much better. It has become much hotter over my years here. Life in the city now is air conditioning in the house, car, shops and offices. It is like being a termite not going outside other than in a climate controlled environment like a car, taxi, bus or train. Mornings used to be cool, but no longer. It is always T-shirt and shorts weather here, only because you can't go to less than that! Gardening here is a chore. (I cut the grass yesterday morning) Go into the garden between 10am and 5pm and get burned by the sun. Before or after that time and get eaten by mosquitoes. I tend to look at the garden from inside the house.

Hi Wendy, thanks for your comment. It's all garden centre stuff, nothing too specialist. From memory: tree fern, fatsia, box, date palm, hydrangea, passion flowers, lilac, salvia, eucalyptus, lots of hosta and ferns, trachycarpus fortunai, wisteria and some grasses. Basically anything that google said was tropical but fairly hardy in U.K. climate. Hope it helps :)

I wondered if you could put support uprights into hole and then put a square bench on top as a modern tree bench. So I googled and these are the first pics to come up. Solves the two main issues, first you don’t want people falling into hole, but equally it’s not good having anything that will keep moisture against the trunks. Ps love what you’ve done!
