Lombardy Poplar is a common sight around rural Australia and New Zealand. It is a fast growing, columnar tree, it makes the ideal specimen in large lawn areas and properties or in a row as a large windbreak or screen.
Lombardy performs best in moist soils and in full sun, but is quite tolerant of dryer sites. Reaches heights of up to 20m and a 4m width.

| Content | | If your looking for a small hedging plant then this is the one for you. Dutch Box is a dwarf box that grows with dense, glossy green foliage and works well in shaded areas.
Dutch Box also likes part shade in moist, well-drained soil, but will tolerate a wide range of soils and conditions. It should be clipped to maintain a formal shape.
Slight yellow discolouration of the leaves on Dutch box may occur during cooler months, but don't worry, this is normal! This is remedied by applying with Dolomite Lime, and a slow release fertilizer a month later. Or you can just leave your Dutch Box alone and it will come back lovely and green and spring.
