Description

Acer buergerianum

The Trident Maple is a small to medium-sized deciduous tree, appreciated internationally for its ability to grow into a trouble-free tree that is also highly drought tolerant. It produces broad, hard, shiny rich dark green "three-pronged" leaves.

The flowers that it bears in spring are a yellow-green colour and are small, similar to other maples. Makes a good street tree, and grows to around 12 meters. For an avenue we recommend planting 5m apart, or for a screen 2.5m apart.

 

Prunus lusitanica

If you're looking for a really classy, deep green foliage hedge then buy Portuguese Laurels. • Perfect for dense or pleached hedging and large standard topiary • Long, elegant white flowers bloom in the warmer months Tolerates most soil conditions, full sun to part shade
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.

ContentFor a hardy classic hedge or topiary you can't go past the Portuguese Laurel (Prunus lusticana). Portugal Laurel or Portuguese Laurel is a large evergreen bushy shrub that makes a very effective hedge or screen when kept clipped from 1-4 metres. With an inoffensive root system, frost hardy foliage and the ability to withstand harsh dry conditions, it the perfect plant for any troublesome garden. One of the best reasons to buy Portuguese Laurels to create a medium to large hedge is that almost nothing eats it! No hideous bites will be taken out of the leaves from nasty little garden pests as the leaves have a rather sour taste, so many insects and animals are reluctant to have a nibble. [one_half] [/one_half] [one_half_last] Ideal for: Hedge, Screen or Pleached hedge Growth Rate: Moderate- 30-60cm per year Maintain at a Height of: 1-5m tall Maximum Height: 4-8m depending on conditions Soil Requirements: Quite tolerant of most soils, but if you want to pamper it, it enjoys slightly acidic, moderately fertile, moist, well-drained soils. Maintenance: Low. Twice yearly trimming to keep it neat. Can produce berries that may need cleaning up. Planting Distance: 60-90cm Portuguese Laurels adds class and character to the formal or Hampton style garden. Also a popular choice in rural areas due to its hardiness. They like good drainage (find out more about drainage if you're unsure whether you should buy Portuguese Laurels here), otherwise they are very hardy, versatile and easy to shape and maintain. When buying Portuguese Laurels for hedging and screening, you'll need about three for every two metres of hedge you want to create. [/one_half_last]
