Description

Ficus microcarpa hillii 'Emerald'

Ficus 'Emerald' has a glossier and deeper, emerald green foliage compared with that of the 'Flash' and 'Hill's Weeping' ficus. This rich green foliage matches well with Buxus English Box, particularly in a formal setting. 'Emerald' ficus are quite tolerant of poor soil conditions and hot or windy weather conditions, growing well in both full sun to part shade positions. It does not, however, like the touch of frost. See our Ficus Hedging & Screening Factsheet here for more about the different Ficus varieties!

Pittosporum tenuifolium

Perfect Pillar is a bushy, dense, fast growing Pittosporum with a neat rounded habit and glossy pale-green foliage. Although brown, the flowers are quite insignificant but offer a honey smell during Spring. Perfect for screening and hedging. Grows to 3-4m in height and 3m wide.
