Fast growing, fine leaf box hedging and topiary plant with a defined edge. • Get your box hedge or topiary twice as fast! • Responds very well to pruning, becoming beautifully dense • Tolerates very poor soils and hot conditions

Acacia melanoxylon

Acacia 'Blackwood' is an iconic Australian tree famous for its timber, which has been extensively used for quality specialist furniture since European settlement. Growing into a large shade tree, the Blackwood's dense foliage makes it an ideal choice for a screen or windbreak with its pale yellow cream flowers blooming in winter and spring. It is cold and frost tolerant with low flammability and high tolerance to poor soils and drought. Plant with Acacia Lightwood, which flowers in summer, for year-round interest. See our Acacia - Wattles Factsheet here for more about the different Acacia varieties!

Content BoxOz Lonicera has been specially developed by Chris, and is our exclusive hedging plant. It has a deeper green foliage, a denser finish and more clearly defined shape than the traditional English Box. BoxOz Lonicera is the best plant with which to create your perfect hedge or border as it grows quickly and once your hedge has developed its easy to maintain with only a few trimmings a year. New shoots are soft and easy to cut and trimming is an effortless relaxing experience. Some traditional hedging plants grow only an inch or two a year. BoxOz Lonicera will produce a calf high border in under twelve months, a knee high hedge in around 18 months, and a waist high hedge in 30 months. Almost any soil is suitable, as long as it is not too swampy. Fertilise your BoxOz Lonicera occasionally with a complete fertiliser, and water as required.
