| Description | 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. | Gardenia augusta
Florida is one of the best gardenias available, producing masses of perfumed flowers on a hardy plant.
- Beautifully scented
- Prolific flowering
- Great for low landscaping
| Agonis flexuosa 'Burgundy'
Agonis Burgundy is a small attractive tree with a beautiful weeping habit which bears white clusters of long lasting flowers.
Its foliage is probably the most spectacular feature as it has dark burgundy coloured leaves. The leaves are aromatic when crushed. | Trachelospermum jasminoides
A gorgeous, evergreen climber trained in the sculptural art of espalier
• Fragrant white jasmine flowers in summer
• Perfect for covering unsightly walls or fences
• Can be grown in pots or made into living wall art
| Luma apiculata
Myrtus Luma is the medium to tall hedge with real traditional style. A lot of people believe the only fast growing larger hedge with fine foliage is the Pittosporum. It is an extraordinarily versatile plant suitable for hedging, screening, topiary, or as a specimen tree, but its small, aromatic leaves respond so well to pruning that it is commonly used as a hedge.
Myrtus luma also makes a wonderful specimen tree if left unpruned. With age it forms an outstanding trunk with cinnamon brown branches. Its bark peels to reveal streaks of pink and beige. What a plant! It really should be seen more in Australian gardens.

| Gardenias are warm climate plants, which are at their best in a mild, humid climate. They are seen to perfection in frost-free areas north of Sydney and Perth, but will grow in cooler areas like Melbourne in a warmer, protected position. | | | |
