| Description | Syagrus romanzoffiana 'Cocos Palm'
The Queen or Cocos Palm is the hero for any Aussie who dreams of a tropical escape, as no matter where you are down under, you can create a tropical hideaway with these amazingly tolerant palm trees. They will tolerate frost and grow as far South as Hobart. Queen Palms also attract birds to the garden. | Prunus yedoensis x subhirtella 'Snofozam'
Hands down the most popular feature tree, the Weeping Cherry tree! And it's no wonder why, with little maintenance and year round interest it's a definite crowd pleaser.
• The most narrow of weeping cherries, Falling Snow's branches hang directly down
• Covered in little white blossoms in the spring, green foliage in summer changing to an awesome display of autumn colour
• Grows in most soils, disliking heavy clay and soggy soils
See our Prunus - Ornamental Blossom Factsheet here for more about the different cherry and plum blossom varieties!
