Sago Palms are wonderfully tough little palms, growing strong in the tough climate and soils of Victoria. • Very slow growing. • Thin, fern-like foliage, sprouting from the centre • Can be grown in pots, suitable for modern or tropical gardens

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.
