Description	Luma apiculata Myrtus Luma is the medium to tall hedge with real traditional style. A lot of people believe the only fast growing larger hedge with fine foliage is the Pittosporum. It is an extraordinarily versatile plant suitable for hedging, screening, topiary, or as a specimen tree, but its small, aromatic leaves respond so well to pruning that it is commonly used as a hedge. Myrtus luma also makes a wonderful specimen tree if left unpruned. With age it forms an outstanding trunk with cinnamon brown branches. Its bark peels to reveal streaks of pink and beige. What a plant! It really should be seen more in Australian gardens.	Prostanthera hybrid Poorinda Ballerina Mint Bush is a dense native shrub, reaching heights of approximately 1.5 m in height with fragrant, oval foliage and masses of showy creamy white flowers in spring. Frost tolerant and drought resistant. 6"/14cm pot size.
