| 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!
For care instructions, features and more, check out Additional Information below | Citrofortunella microcarpa
Calamondin is considered a cross between a mandarin and a cumquat. The tree bears shiny deep-green leaves and grows to a height of 3 - 6 meters. These trees can be planted in groups or as an individual specimen tree for a garden. They grow best in a position of full sun and in well drained soil.
The fruit are orange in colour when fully ripe and are great for cooking, they have many uses from spices to jams and more.
| 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. |
