6''/14cm pot | Liriodendron tulipifera
The Tulip Tree is a beautiful tall tree with large leaves that have a lovely shape and smooth soft texture. A fast growing deciduous hardwood tree.
Tulip trees have striking yellow-green orange flecked coloured flowers. They are solitary flowers that sit in the extreme-most upper branches. The flowers resemble tulips, hence the name.
For an avenue we recommend planting these trees 7m apart or for a screen 3m apart. | Waterhousea floribunda
This Australian native is known as the Weeping Lilly Pilly due to its slightly drooping habit, which is visually very attractive. It is often used as a hedge/screen and responds well to pruning. Although often used as a hedge, it can also be planted as an evergreen tree. It also flowers white in Summer, but rarely in Melbourne, so it makes a good choice near pools.
The height is often determined by the conditions, but untrimmed will reach at least 8m. It can easily grow in many soil types, is frost tolerant and also copes well with damp soils. It is fast growing and has a lovely, lush, compact foliage with the new growth a pink/rust colour adding contrast.
We source our Waterhousia from Northern NSW as they have a warmer climate offering larger and bushier plants than those sourced locally, giving our customer better value for money. You may notice that the plants have some cosmetic psyllium damage that resemble bumps or blisters on some of the leaves. Rest assured our grower has sprayed the plants and there are no live psyllids remaining on them. Weeping Lilly Pillys are a popular choice with minimal berries and a lovely weeping evergreen habit, we know you will enjoy these plants . However if the cosmetic damage is something you are concerned about we can look to provide you alternative species that may also be of interest. | Prunus nigra fastigiata
Upright Flowering Plums are great, tall and narrow growing ornamental, purple leaf plum trees. Resembling the shape of a narrow ornamental pear, they have the added bonus of interesting purple foliage as well as a beautiful Spring flower display.
Upright Flowering Plums can be planted as a screen or to frame pathways and driveways. They are hardy once established, and will grow up to 5 meters tall, with a spread of roughly 2 meters. Little pruning required. |
