Description

Acacia melanoxylon 

Acacia 'Blackwood' is an iconic Australian tree famous for its timber, which has been extensively used for quality specialist furniture since European settlement. Growing into a large shade tree, the Blackwood's dense foliage makes it an ideal choice for a screen or windbreak with its pale yellow cream flowers blooming in winter and spring. It is cold and frost tolerant with low flammability and high tolerance to poor soils and drought. Plant with Acacia Lightwood, which flowers in summer, for year-round interest.   See our Acacia - Wattles Factsheet here for more about the different Acacia varieties!

Betula pendula fastigiata - Pyramid Birch

Upright Silver Birch is a great specimen tree that is an upright growing birch as its name suggests, with branches that intertwine as they grow. The leaves go from green to a beautiful butter yellow in the autumn. Upright Birch excels in full sun, and prefers a moist, well drained soil. Used either separate as a specimen tree or planted together as informal screening. Maximum height roughly 10 metres.
