6"/14cm pot | Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Limelight'
Limelight Pittosporums are a great, evergreen large shrub with small lime green leaves. Limelights makes a fantastic hedge or screening plant. They grow to 4-6 meters tall and 2-3 meters wide.
Limelight Pittosporums prefers full sun or part shade, will grow in most types of soil and are frost tolerant. Once established they will also tolerate dry periods. | Luma apiculata
Myrtus Luma is the medium to tall hedge with real traditional style. A lot of people believe the only fast growing larger hedge with fine foliage is the Pittosporum. It is an extraordinarily versatile plant suitable for hedging, screening, topiary, or as a specimen tree, but its small, aromatic leaves respond so well to pruning that it is commonly used as a hedge.
Myrtus luma also makes a wonderful specimen tree if left unpruned. With age it forms an outstanding trunk with cinnamon brown branches. Its bark peels to reveal streaks of pink and beige. What a plant! It really should be seen more in Australian gardens.
| Fraxinus excelsior Aurea
Golden Ash is an attractive deciduous tree for all seasons with a rounded crown. The foliage is a light yellow colour turning pale green in summer. In autumn the foliage turns a brilliant golden yellow that is the main feature of this tree. In winter the young branches are yellow with distinctive black buds. A stunning tree with multi-seasonal interest. 7m H x 7m W |
