| Description | Eucalyptus "Vintage Red", Black Leaf EucalyptusVintage Red Eucalyptus is a new breed of Eucalyptus with beautiful deep red foliage. It's a great landscape tree and also a great garden feature. The foliage colour it bears is a deep red-wine colour maturing to dark purple and grey tones, which appear almost black. Eucalyptus Vintage Red produces rich dark red stems that are also almost black, then peeling to reveal smooth grey bark. Reacts very well to pruning, which helps it produce denser foliage making it usable as a shrub or screen. Grafted to grow to a maximun height of 6-8 meters. To use in screening, prune height back by one third each year once the trees are 3-4 years old. | Luma apiculataMyrtus Luma is the medium to tall hedge with real traditional style. A lot of people believe the only fast growing larger hedge with fine foliage is the Pittosporum. It is an extraordinarily versatile plant suitable for hedging, screening, topiary, or as a specimen tree, but its small, aromatic leaves respond so well to pruning that it is commonly used as a hedge. Myrtus luma also makes a wonderful specimen tree if left unpruned. With age it forms an outstanding trunk with cinnamon brown branches. Its bark peels to reveal streaks of pink and beige. What a plant! It really should be seen more in Australian gardens. | |
