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. | Debco Garden Soil Mix is ideal for constructing new garden beds or improving existing soil conditions by mixing it into your existing soil.

| Content | We are the first nursery to make mass plantings of Mondo Grass and Bongo Borders Liriope available at good prices. What we have found is that once you come out and buy a few trays of Bongo Borders Liriope and Mondo Grass and see how good they look in your garden, you’ll be back again and again. One of Chris’ mates has been going crook at him because his wife had been in three times in three weeks for Mondo Grass and Bongo Borders Liriope. She keeps finding places in the garden to plant more!
