| Description | Ficus microcarpa hillii 'Flash'
-One of the fastest growing hedges
-Evergreen and no mess from seeds or flowers
-Dense and lush Australian native
-High tolerance of poor conditions | Cestrum nocturnum
Night Blooming Jasmine is noted for its white-yellow, tubular flowers that bloom at night! The flowers close during the day. When in bloom, the flowers release a scent of sweet perfume that pervades the area within 300-500 ft of the plant! Unlike what many may think, Night Blooming jasmine is not a jasmine. It is a jessamine which is part of the nightshade or Solanaceae family and can be poisonous to dogs and people if eaten.
CAUTION Harmful if eaten/skin, eye & respiratory irritant. | Prunus var. nucipersica 'Peacherine'
Deciduous, fruiting tree has lance-shaped, dark green leaves with massed clusters of small, fragrant pink flowers in Spring followed by large edible sweet and juicy yellow fleshed fruit in Summer. This slightly fuzzy reddish/yellow skinned fruit is a cross between a peach and a nectarine. Ideal for full sun in gardens, as a feature, edging or in large pots. It can be eaten fresh or cooked. It is self-pollinating and attracts bees.
10'' pot | Olea europeana
Dwarf Olive Garden Harvest is a self-pollinating variety producing medium sized fruits that are suitable for both table and oil use. Olive trees are attractive evergreen shrubs or small trees with silver-grey foliage. They are also ideal for screening and hedges or feature plants. Requires a position in full sun, and can tolerate many soil conditions, droughts and frosts when established.

Why buy ficus hedging plants?
One of the fastest no mess hedges, Ficus 'Flash' are chosen for their rapid growth, lavish green foliage and high tolerance of poor conditions. These gorgeous Australian natives produce no flowers and seeds therefore no mess! And their upright, dense habit lends them to being used as not just solid hedging but as topiary, standards and pleached hedging.
Ficus plants for pleaching
The beauty of the pleached hedge is that it is very good for small gardens as you can do a 2 or even sometime 3 layer effect. It allows for a garden bed underneath the hedge, maximising your gardens beauty, colour and depth.
It’s like having a 2 or 3 story garden as you really get the 2 story effect which is becoming more and more stylish in the modern garden. Pleaching creates another dimension to your garden!

The secret with pleaching is that ficus are evergreen and pleach very easily, and are very lush and are fantastic for doing a pleached hedge.
Also as Ficus hedge plants have gotten a bit of a bad name for growing an aggressive root system. The pleaching effect actually keeps the roots under control and allows for you to grow these Ficus in very confined spaces and gardens. These days with the rapid growth of our cities, lots of people are having smaller and smaller gardens!
