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.

Rhagodia spinescens

Creeping Saltbush is a compact and hardy shrub with attractive silvery foliage and a nice dense habit. This is a very low maintenance plant for landscaping work. It can be pruned to shape if desired to form an informal low hedge.

Creeping Saltbush grows best in full sun to light shade. It is frost and drought tolerant, and suits coastal sites as it is salt tolerant.

Grows approximately H:1.2 Meters W:2-3 Meters
