| Description | Citrus sinensis
Washington Navel is the most popular backyard orange grown in Australia. It is a relatively small tree and produces oranges that ripen mid winter and are medium to large in size and are very sweet and juicy.
Their skin is relatively easy to peel and they are seedless. This type of orange tree is suited to colder climates. The foliage it has is light to dark green and is glossy. This plant grows best in full sun or partial shade. | Ulmus parvifolia
Burnley's Select is a wider growing form of Chinese Elm, still producing the same bark that 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.
