| Description | Magnolia grandiflora
An evergreen beauty with elegance and class, the 'Super Gem' Magnolia is a newer, compact growing form of the Little Gem Magnolia.
Hand-sized white and heavily fragrant flowers against robust, dark green foliage make this plant a favourite for hedging and feature planting.
Tolerating poor soils, heat and frost, they are an ideal plant for the Melbourne and rural Victorian garden.

8"/20cm pot | Pyrus calleryana 'Winter Glow'
The only evergreen ornamental pear currently on the market, making it a highly sought after specimen tree.
• Spring blossoms on semi bare branches
• Ideal for screening or as a shade tree
• Green glossy leaves with a silvered backing
Everscreen Pears will only retain leaves in warmer climates. Cool climate areas such as rural Victoria are likely to see leaf drop in the winter but usually for only a period of up to 5 weeks. In cool climates it the Everscreen will get an autumnal colouring prior to leaf drop.
