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. | Syzygium australe
Grow a thick, bushy hedge in no time. What you do behind it is your business!
• Thick, glossy green hedging with red tinged new growth
• Australian native
• Easy to maintain and fast growing | Acer rubrum
Common names: Lipstick Maple
Acer rubrum ‘Bowhall’ is an outstanding choice for streetscapes and avenues, thanks to its narrow, columnar habit and rapid growth. Its brilliant orange-red autumn foliage provides a spectacular seasonal highlight, while delicate red flowers appear in early to mid spring. Highly adaptable, it thrives in full sun and moist, well-drained soil but tolerates a wide range of soil types and conditions. Cold-hardy and wind-resistant, ‘Bowhall’ is both beautiful and resilient.
10"/25cm pot | Syzygium australe
Straight and Narrow is a very slender, semi-compact and dense plant. It has tight, attractive foliage and white flowers that proceeds to beautiful pink/red fruit. This variety is perfect for constricted planting areas, such as along fences and driveways. Also works well for topiary. Thrives in full sun to shade. Suits most, well drained soil types. Tolerates cold and dry. |

| Neighbours-Be-Gone Trees can grow two or more metres per year once established. Neighbours-Be-Gone Trees have deep green, dense, fine foliage and copper red new growth and can grow two or more metres per year once established, and love to be clipped and shaped. They grow in full sun through to light shade and withstand mild frost, wind, heat and drought. They thrive in almost any soil including heavy wet and occasionally waterlogged soils.
Neighbours-Be-Gone Trees can be used to create tall screens, large hedges and large topiary. They can be planted in pots or confined areas. Although they have the potential to grow into large trees, their size can be contained by regular clipping. The trunk and roots only grow to serve the needs of the crown of the tree, so the trunk and root system will remain small, while the tree is being kept small by regular trimming. Neighbours-Be-Gone Trees are a long living tree that don’t become woody or sick from long-term regular pruning. A well maintained Neighbours-Be-Gone Tree hedge or topiary can last for many decades.
Neighbours-Be-Gone Trees are a select form of Acmena smithii and are exclusive to Hello Hello Plants. They were developed by Chris 20 years ago, and Neighbours Be Gone is actually a trademark that belongs to the Hello Hello group of companies.
Back in 2003 Chris was holidaying in Los Angeles and noticed that the most popular hedge was an Australian Native Lilly Pilly. At that time, the main hedge being grown in Melbourne was the Silver Sheen Pittosporum, and Lilly Pilly's were a product that was shipped down from Queensland. They were expensive, and many of the Queensland varieties did poorly in Victoria.
Chris decided to make a Lilly Pilly hedge that was tailor made for Melbourne. He chose a variety of Lilly Pilly that had been cultivated and had done well in Melbourne for the last 100 years. It grows all year round, is tough, drought tolerant and hedges beautifully. Now the "Neighbours Be Gone" is one of Melbourne's most popular hedges!
