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.

Olea europaea

Swan Hill Olive is a unique and elegant evergreen tree that grows to a large size of approximately 34ft in height. Likes moist to dry soils and is drought tolerant. Swan Hill should be planted in a position of full sun to partial shade. This tree has a very long life span and strong branches. It bears grey green foliage and light gray scaly bark. Please note, Swan Hill variety is a very low fruiting Olive, mainly used for screening and not fruiting.
