Description

Araucaria heterophylla

Norfolk Island Pine is an evergreen tree that is native to Norfolk Island, off the East coast of Australia. In the wild, they have been seen to grow to heights of up to 200 feet. Regardless of its potential height, the Norfolk Island Pine is still commonly used as a container or tub plant typically in the 3-6 foot tall range.

Norkfolk Island Pines grow slowly and in proper conditions have a long life. Grows best in a position of partial shade. Requires low maintenance.

Why buy Boston Ivy?

Boston Ivy is one of our most popular climbers, and rightfully so. It suits Melbourne's weather perfectly. It is a self-adhering climber which grows by clinging to the wall or surface, but without damaging stonework or invading cracks. It can be used to cover unsightly fences, or add a lush layer of green over masonry. Boston Ivy is deciduous and provides a phenomenal autumn display of oranges and red hues. It not only makes a fantastic addition to any garden, but is also a very cost effective way to add colour and beauty to bland areas.

What else do I need to know about buying Boston Ivy plants?

Boston Ivy is a very hardy and versatile climber and it can grow almost anywhere and under any conditions. However it loves a hot sunny spot with loose fertile soil and plenty of water, and in these ideal conditions it will grow to cover anything in no time. Boston Ivy can also grow in shade, in pots, in poor soils and confined garden beds. However, if conditions are less than perfect, expect it to grow more slowly. The trick is to plant it more densely to achieve ideal coverage if this is the case. Plant one plant every metre in ideal conditions, or more plants closer together if conditions are less than ideal.
