| 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. | Magnolia x loebneri 'Ballerina'
Magnolia Ballerina is a beautiful Magnolia featuring masses of slightly fragrant star shaped white flowers that have the softest hint of pink.
Frost hardy deciduous small trees, Magnolias show off large goblet shaped blooms on bare branches in late Winter to early Spring, followed by large green leaves that will eventually become shades of gold in Autumn.
It is hard to find a more spectacular sight than a Magnolia in full bloom! Performs best in cooler climates, needs protection from strong winds and snails. | |
