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.

Betula nigra 

River birch is a vigorous, fast-growing, medium-sized deciduous tree that is noted for its superb growth habit. Its pinkish red bark exfoliates to a lighter inner bark. Its brown flowers (male) are seen drooping while its green flowers (female) appear upright. River Birch is easily grown in medium to wet soils and a position of full sun to part shade. Grows to a height of 40-70ft. Requires low maintenance and has a drought tolerance.
