| 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.

The 'Flame' Redbud is a small feature tree, that unlike other Redbuds, produces vibrant red new growth and double-petal rose-pink flowers. It is a gorgeous deciduous tree that loves both full sunlight and partial shade. This tree is butterfly and bee attracting and is late flowering compared to other varieties, but well worth the wait!

Lemon Scented Myrtle is a very beautiful tree, especially when covered in blooms during Summer. The leaves and fruit give off a pleasant aroma of lemon-scented when crushed. It has a huge variety of uses - the crushed leaves repell mosquitoes, and can be used to brew a relaxing tea.
Lemon Scented Myrtle prefers well-drained soil and lots of water. This densely foliaged rainforest tree is perfect for a screening or specimen plant. |
