| Description | Cupressus macrocarpa
Monterey Cypress or Western District Cypress a large evergreen tree conifer which lives long and grows large in perfect conditions. Native to coastal California, it suits coastal conditions and has the unique tendancy to be "sculptured" by the wind over time as it grows.
The foliage grows in dense sprays, bright green in color. The leaves are scale-like and produced on rounded shoots. Makes a good windbreak in coastal areas. | Ficus microcarpa hillii 'Koh'
A small leaved ficus variety, Koh or California Ficus is ideal for shaping with an upright narrow habit. It has a non-aggressive root system, giving it good longevity in a pot and making it the preferred ficus option for planting near water pipes and pools. An excellent tolerance to coastal conditions, drought and full sun positions. It can be kept as a small hedge, approximately 1 to 3 metres, without competing any close plantings.
See our Ficus Hedging & Screening Factsheet here for more about the different Ficus varieties!

Pink Ice was one of the first commercialised finger lime varieties, and is a medium size shrub producing red to burgundy coloured fruits with clear or pink pearls of juice inside. The aroma of the fruits is similar to ruby grapefruit, and is perfect for cocktails and drinks, as well as cooking. Bears fruit from summer to autumn. It is a great variety for growing in containers and in warm courtyards, and does best in full sun. Water thoroughly in spring and summer, especially on hot days. Use fertiliser in spring and in late summer, keeping it away from the trunk of the plant. Prune to shape in the later spring months. |
