Description

Pyrus calleryana 'Bradford'

The original ornamental pear from which all other ornamental pears were scioned. • Spring blossoms on bare branches • Vibrant autumnal colours of red, orange and purple • Ideal for rural properties or as a shade tree Bradford Pears are becoming superseded by newer varieties that are far less affected by strong winds and are more structural sound.   For more information on Ornamental Pears see our Pyrus - Ornamental Pear Factsheet

Luma apiculata

Myrtus Luma is the medium to tall hedge with real traditional style. A lot of people believe the only fast growing larger hedge with fine foliage is the Pittosporum. It is an extraordinarily versatile plant suitable for hedging, screening, topiary, or as a specimen tree, but its small, aromatic leaves respond so well to pruning that it is commonly used as a hedge. Myrtus luma also makes a wonderful specimen tree if left unpruned. With age it forms an outstanding trunk with cinnamon brown branches. Its bark peels to reveal streaks of pink and beige. What a plant! It really should be seen more in Australian gardens.
