| Description | Backhousia citriodora
Lemon Scented Myrtle is a very beautiful tree, especially when covered in blooms during Summer. The leaves and fruit give off a pleasant aroma of lemon-scented when crushed. It has a huge variety of uses - the crushed leaves repell mosquitoes, and can be used to brew a relaxing tea.
Lemon Scented Myrtle prefers well-drained soil and lots of water. This densely foliaged rainforest tree is perfect for a screening or specimen plant. | Callistemon citrinus
This variety of the classic Australian native grows more compactly and rounded than other varieties. Great as a specimen tree or screen. Bright red bottle brush flowers. Attracts birds to the garden. | Pyrus calleryana 'Bradford'
The original ornamental pear from which all other ornamental pears were scioned.
• Spring blossoms on bare branches
• Vibrant autumnal colours of red, orange and purple
• Ideal for rural properties or as a shade tree
Bradford Pears are becoming superseded by newer varieties that are far less affected by strong winds and are more structural sound.
