Description

Lagerstroemia indica x fauriei 'Zuni'

'Zuni' Crepe Myrtles are tough, small trees that offer attractive bark, masses of pink-purple mauve like flowers in summer and good yellow-orange autumn colours. One of the most popular hardy small trees around. Crepe Myrtles are adaptable to most conditions, suitable for small gardens or amenity areas and can be a very effective street tree.

Ulmus parvifolia

The bark of the Chinese Elm is a real stand out feature, as the tree sheds it in patches, creating the effect of a tapestry of varying browns and greys. Foliage is lush, shiny and green, and the tree is semi deciduous, turning golden in autumn, and keeping its leaves in warmer areas. It has also been noted by many Aussie gardeners in recent years that native birds enjoy the fruit of the Chinese Elm.

Portulacaria afra, Money Tree

Jade Succulent is an extremely common plant in Australian gardens and has been for some time. Not only is it easy to grow, you'll find it's hardy in most conditions, and really only struggles when over-watered. Preferring a loose draining soil, the Jade Succulent is one of the more resilient succulents when it comes to things like clayey soil. A very attractive addition to any garden!
