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.

Robinia pseudoacacia contortaminima

Curly Shirley Robinia is a unique tree with beautiful curly branches that stays small, and grows into an artistic living sculpture. It's easily kept to a height of 2-3 meters, suits large pots or tubs, and is also at home as a small feature tree in the garden. Its curly branches are covered in spring foliage which is also curly, and it then blooms lovely white wisteria-like flowers. Deciduous, Curly Shirley's autumn colour is a lovely yellow, similar to the popular Golden Robinia, and its winter bareness reveal its beautiful contorted branches.
