| Description | Archontophoenix cunninghamiana
Bangalow Palms are native to Australia and are often used as indoor plants here down South. To grow into a very large tree they would probably require warmer climates than Melbourne, but as a small or medium size tree they look lovely anyway.
Use Bangalow Palms as a clumped indoor plant or in a sheltered spot outdoors to add a tropical feel to the garden. | Imperial mandarin is a large evergreen shrub that produces fruits with pale smooth skin. This tree bears glossy green thick foliage and has scented white flowers, which are followed by edible fruit.
It can be used as an ornamental plant as well as for its fruit. This plant grows best in humid areas and thrives in full sun. Can be grown in the ground or in pots or containers making it pretty versatile. The process of grafting Gum trees ensures colour, size, adaptability and hardiness.
4L pot size. | Magnolia grandifora
Magnolia 'Big Gem™️' is a lusciously large evergreen Magnolia. The leaves are large and pointed with less gloss than other Magnolias. Along with the large leaves are gorgeously bright, white and heavily fragrant big flowers in the warmer months. They are quite hardy trees, tolerating most soil and weather conditions and make wonderful feature hedges, large shade trees or specimen plants.
