| Description | Robinia pseudoacacia inermis
Mop Tops are a totally unique deciduous landscaping plant. They're the ball on a stick tree that maintain their round topiary shape without regular trimming. Don't pay over $200 at the big stores. We grow our own, so get them cheap! | Escallonia Iveyi
Escallonia Iveyi is a quick growing, evergreen plant with fragrant white flowers in summer. Ideal for hedges, borders or screening.
It is particulary hardy and will cope with coastal conditions as well as a hot, dry location, but does not cope with humidity. Frost hardy and drought tolerant once established. Plant 70cm apart for hedges and borders.
6" pot size, approximately 15-25cm in height. | Olea europaea
Correggiola is a small to medium sized evergreen tree that is noted for its leathery, grey-green foliage that have silver undersides. Its edible fruit is produced in late Spring. Grows to an eventual height of 6 meters with a spread of 3 meters.
Correggiola likes a full sunlight to part shade position in well drained soil. Great as a specimen tree and use in large containers.

| Content | Maple Mop Tops are a totally unique landscape tool. They are cheap to produce and as a consequence are very economical to purchase, when compared to other standard or topiary trees. They require little maintenance to maintain a lovely classical manicured look. The Mop Top is very hardy, coping well with wind, heat, drought, frost, pollution and poor soils. Because the Mop Top naturally grows small, it is ideal for planting in confined areas or creating avenues in places where conventional trees won’t fit.
