Description

Leucothoe axillaris

Leucothoe Twisting Red has glossy dark green foliage topped with burgundy coloured young shoots, making this an eye-catching shrub. It has intriguing curled leaves that add texture and colour to borders and containers. White flowers are borne in spring. This bushy evergreen shrub performs best in acidic soil in full sun to semi shade, and will grow to a height of 50cm and a width of 60cm.

Feijoa sellowiana 'Pineapple guava'

Feijoas are a fairly small evergreen tree with short oval shaped leaves, soft green on top and silvery underneath. Additional to the fruit they yield, they make great specimen trees or can be planted close together for screening and hedging. Following bright red and white flowers, the Feijoa or Pineapple Guava will produce aromatic fruits around the size of an egg that remain green when ripe. They have perfumed pale cream flesh and their taste is a blend of pineapple and strawberry.

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.
