Description	Acmena smithii ‘Firescreen’ Firescreen Lilly Pillies are an attractive Australian native fast growing shrub. Their new foliage growth is glossy and copper red in colour, maturing to mid green. Firescreen is an excellent Lilly Pilly for screening as it grows large - up to 6 meters tall. It gets its name from its fire resistance and tolerance to withering 40 degree days. Firescreen Lilly Pillies prefer a position of full sunlight to reach their full height and thickness. Also handles heatwaves, cold weather and wind. 8"/20cm pot	Buxus microphylla  Korean Box is a fantastic compact shrub with long but finer leaves than most buxus. It's foliage is a bright green long oval shape with gloss. It is one of the lowest growing buxus and so is ideal for box hedging, however it can tend to turn yellow in full sun, so it will prefer a part shade/filtered light position. Korean box is one of the slower growing varieties and is great in pots or as topiary's. This plant has a moderate growth rate that grows to approximately 50-60cm in height. Plant every 20cm - 5 per meter for an optimum hedge.
