Description

Ulmus parvifolia

The bark of the Chinese Elm is a real stand out feature, as the tree sheds it in patches, creating the effect of a tapestry of varying browns and greys. Foliage is lush, shiny and green, and the tree is semi deciduous, turning golden in autumn, and keeping its leaves in warmer areas. It has also been noted by many Aussie gardeners in recent years that native birds enjoy the fruit of the Chinese Elm.

Grevillea robusta

The Grevillea Robusta (Southern Silky Oak) is a fast-growing large upright evergreen tree. It is the largest species of Grevillea, and resembles a grand pine tree when fully grown. Silky Oak produces long bottlebrush shaped golden-orange flowers in spring and summer. Silky Oak is suitable for most soil but prefers it to be well-drained and can grow in semi-shade or no shade. Drought tolerant.
