| 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. | Pittosporum tenuifolium
Pittosporum Screenmaster is a fast-growing evergreen shrub that can grow up to 1 meter per year. Features medium green foliage and fine dark brown stems. Requires reasonable drainage but grows well in most soils. Keep moist when establishing and during dry periods. Ideal for hedging or screening.
A hardy drought-tolerant species once established. Prune to maintain shape and size. | Acer palmatum dissectum 'Crimson Queen'
Crimson Queen is a slow growing Maple, ideal where a very compact tree is required. It produces brilliant bright red foliage in Spring turning crimson in Summer and scarlet in outer foliage is extra small and fine.
Crimson Queen is a low-branching, dwarf tree with delicate weeping habit. It likes a position of full sunlight to partial shade. | Cupressus macrocarpa
Monterey Cypress or Western District Cypress a large evergreen tree conifer which lives long and grows large in perfect conditions. Native to coastal California, it suits coastal conditions and has the unique tendancy to be "sculptured" by the wind over time as it grows.
The foliage grows in dense sprays, bright green in color. The leaves are scale-like and produced on rounded shoots. Makes a good windbreak in coastal areas. |
