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.

Pyrus calleryana 'Capital'

The most slender of the ornamental pears, it's no wonder this versatile tree is so popular!

• Spring blossoms on bare branches • Vibrant autumnal colours or red, orange and purple • Fits in narrow spaces, along fencelines & driveways

Can average 8-10m tall. Can be trimmed to keep at 6m if required.
