| 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. | Buxus sempervirens suffruticosa
A glossy green, rounded leaf box hedging plant
• Used for low to medium hedging and topiary
• Planted in the garden, along borders, pathways and in pots
• Tolerates shady positions | A one size fits all, set and forget controlled release plant food for those who don't have the time or inclination to tend to each plant or garden bed individually. The smart way to fertilise - one application feeds continuously for up to 12 months.
• All Purpose
• 12 months feed
• Plus trace elements
• Fast and Easy
• Watersmart technology
FEATURES
- The release of nutrients depends on temperature - more when it's warm and plants are growing and less when it's cold and growth is slow
- Uses advanced prill technology that ensures even and controlled nutrient release with no wastage. Controlled release means feeding less often and more effectively; less frequent feeding is more economical and environment-friendly
- Wetting agent improves water absorption into the soil or potting mix and helps plants take up nutrients
- Boosted levels of iron & magnesium and other trace elements keep leaves greener for longer and promote healthy growth
- Less than 2% phosphorus (the 'P' in NPK) means it's safe to use on most Australian natives
SUITABLE FOR
- Trees and shrubs including most natives and other phosphorus-sensitive plants
- Flowering and leafy annuals, perennials, climbers and groundcovers
- Vegetables, herbs and fruits
- Potted plants including vegetables, herbs, palms, orchids and indoor plants
- Safe to use on new plants - the controlled release of nutrients means it will not burn soft leaves or tender young roots

| If your looking for a small hedging plant then this is the one for you. Dutch Box is a dwarf box that grows with dense, glossy green foliage and works well in shaded areas.
Dutch Box also likes part shade in moist, well-drained soil, but will tolerate a wide range of soils and conditions. It should be clipped to maintain a formal shape.
Slight yellow discolouration of the leaves on Dutch box may occur during cooler months, but don't worry, this is normal! This is remedied by applying with Dolomite Lime, and a slow release fertilizer a month later. Or you can just leave your Dutch Box alone and it will come back lovely and green and spring.
