Pittosporum Miss Muffet is a small shrub with tightly compacted leaves that make it a great plant for many gardens especially Japanese style designs. It has fragrant cream flowers that appear in spring. Situate this variety in a half sun position for best results.

Ulmus parvifolia

The bark of the Chinese Elm is a real stand out feature, as the tree sheds it in patches, creating the effect of a tapestry of varying browns and greys. Foliage is lush, shiny and green, and the tree is semi deciduous, turning golden in autumn, and keeping its leaves in warmer areas. It has also been noted by many Aussie gardeners in recent years that native birds enjoy the fruit of the Chinese Elm.
