Description

Callistemon citrinus 'Kings Park Special'

Callistemon Kings Park Special features narrow green leaves and deep red bottle-brush flowers that are grouped together in bunches, making a spectacular display in spring and autumn. Kings Park Special is one of the larger Callistemons, so it's great for a tall screen or feature tree. Like all callistemons, it's hardy and bird attracting.

Pyrus ussuriensis 'Manchurian'

The Manchurian pear has a rounded habit much like its leaves, perfect for shade or rural properties, and is one of the first ornamental pears to flower in the spring and the first to take on autumn colour. • Spring blossoms on bare branches • Vibrant autumnal red foliage • Ideal shade tree or the best ornamental pear for pleaching For more information on Ornamental Pears see our Pyrus - Ornamental Pear Factsheet
