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.

Acmena smithii ‘Firescreen’

Firescreen Lilly Pillies are an attractive Australian native fast growing shrub. Their new foliage growth is glossy and copper red in colour, maturing to mid green. Firescreen is an excellent Lilly Pilly for screening as it grows large - up to 6 meters tall. It gets its name from its fire resistance and tolerance to withering 40 degree days. Firescreen Lilly Pillies prefer a position of full sunlight to reach their full height and thickness. Also handles heatwaves, cold weather and wind. 12"/30cm pot
