| 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. | Prunus persica 'Fantasia' Nectarine
The Fantasia is a very popular variety of nectarine, producing a firm but sweet yellow-fleshed fruit. It is freestone, and not only does it taste great straight off the tree but they also store tremendously. They like well-drained soil, and are a high producer.
This plant is bare-rooted. Click here for more info on bare rooted plants. | Acer palmatum dissectum
