Description

Callistemon citrinus

Mary MacKillop produces bottlebrush flower heads, about 12cm long, coloured a deep maroon blush. This variety flowers profusely from late Spring into Summer. It's new growth is deep pinkish red, whilst the mature foliage is a mid-green. This shrub grows to heights of around 1-3m.

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.
