Enriched Planting Mix is a certified organic blend of Pure Magic Compost, composted animal manure, gypsum, composted coarse bark and a wetting agent, bagged in 30L. It is built to be dug through existing garden soil at planting time rather than used on its own, and the gypsum is what sets it apart from a plain compost.
Gypsum helps break up heavy clay so water and roots can move through it, while the compost and manure return organic matter and nutrient to tired ground. The coarse bark holds structure and keeps air around the root zone, and the wetting agent keeps moisture in the soil longer after rain or watering.
Use it when planting trees, shrubs, roses, fruit trees and exotic garden plants, particularly into clay. Dig a hole twice the width of the pot and 7 centimetres deeper, then mix roughly one third planting mix through the excavated soil. Spread 7 centimetres of that improved soil in the base before setting the plant in.
About Enriched Planting Mix
It is a blend of Pure Magic Compost, composted animal manure, gypsum, composted coarse bark and a wetting agent. Each part has a job. The compost and manure supply organic matter and nutrient, the gypsum works on clay structure, the bark keeps air around the roots and the wetting agent holds moisture in the soil.
It suits exotic garden plants, including roses, ornamental and deciduous trees, fruit trees, shrubs and perennials, and it earns its keep most on heavy clay sites. It is a planting mix rather than a potting mix, so its job is improving soil at planting time. Phosphorus sensitive natives are the one clear exception.
No, not for the phosphorus sensitive ones. The composted animal manure in this blend lifts phosphorus well above what Proteaceae such as Banksia, Grevillea, Hakea and Protea will tolerate, and the result can be leaf burn, dieback and plant death. Use the Native Potting Mix for those species, or plant them into unimproved local soil.
Yes. It is a certified organic product with no chemical additives, which is why the manure and compost in it are fully composted rather than raw. That makes it sound around fruit trees and vegetable beds, and it means you are adding genuine organic matter to your soil rather than a synthetic conditioner.
Work on roughly one third planting mix to two thirds of the soil you dug out of the hole. For a shrub out of a 200 millimetre pot that is only a few litres. An advanced tree going into a large hole will take considerably more. Judge the quantity by the volume of the hole rather than the size of the plant.
It is not a potting mix and should not be used on its own in a container. The blend is designed to be diluted through garden soil, and used straight in a pot it holds too much water and settles badly. For containers, reach for a premium potting mix, or the native mix if you are potting natives.
Yes. Water the plant well several hours before you plant it, then water thoroughly again once the hole is backfilled and the soil firmed down. That first deep watering settles the improved soil around the root ball and drives out air pockets. Keep the water up over the first few months while the roots establish.

Casuarina glauca 'Cousin It' forms a dense mat of fine weeping needle-like foliage just 20 to 30 centimetres high, cascading beautifully over walls, edges and rock work. It reads as flowing texture rather than as a conventional groundcover, which is why designers use it so heavily.
'Cousin It' spreads 2 to 4 metres wide at 30 to 50 centimetres per year, filling in steadily without becoming invasive or needing to be cut back. It suppresses weeds once established, holds soil on banks and batters, and works equally well spilling from a raised planter or a large pot.
This Australian native tolerates light to moderate frost once established, along with salt, wind, poor soils and extended dry. It grows in full sun to part shade and needs essentially no maintenance beyond the occasional tidy of a wayward runner.
About Casuarina glauca 'Cousin It'
'Cousin It' stays just 20 to 30 centimetres tall and spreads 2 to 4 metres wide. It is a genuinely prostrate form and will not build up in height over time.
It spreads at 30 to 50 centimetres per year, filling in steadily. Expect two to three seasons to close a mass planting depending on spacing.
Yes. Casuarina glauca is naturally a coastal and estuarine species, and 'Cousin It' inherits strong salt and wind tolerance, which makes it excellent for seaside gardens.
Yes. Once the mat closes over it forms dense cover that suppresses most weed germination, which is a large part of its value in commercial and civic landscapes.
Yes. It is particularly effective spilling over the edge of a large pot, raised planter or retaining wall, where the cascading habit can be seen.
Plant 1 to 1.5 metres apart for a continuous mass. Closer spacing closes the gaps faster but the plants will eventually merge regardless.
It handles light to moderate frost once established. Protect young plants through their first winter in colder inland districts.
Camellia sasanqua 'Setsugekka' is a tall evergreen shrub with large, single to semi double white flowers, the petals slightly ruffled around a centre of golden stamens. Bloom runs from late autumn into early winter. Foliage is small, glossy and dark green, carried densely on an upright, gently spreading frame.
It takes more sun than a japonica and will hold full sun in cooler districts, though part shade suits inland heat. Soil should be well drained and slightly acidic. Growth is 40 to 60 centimetres a year, to 2 to 4 metres tall and 1.5 to 2.5 metres wide. Light frost is tolerated.
This is the standard choice for a tall evergreen screen along a boundary or between neighbouring houses, and it clips readily into a formal hedge. It also stands alone as a feature, or fills a large pot at an entry. The height and density make it useful wherever fence line privacy is the brief.
About Camellia sasanqua 'Setsugekka'
'Setsugekka' is a tall evergreen sasanqua camellia with large single to semi double white flowers, the petals slightly ruffled around a boss of golden stamens. It flowers from late autumn into early winter. Small glossy dark leaves are held densely on an upright, gently spreading shrub used widely for screening.
It reaches 2 to 4 metres tall and 1.5 to 2.5 metres wide, at a rate of roughly 40 to 60 centimetres a year. That upper height is what makes it a genuine screening plant rather than a border shrub. Regular trimming will hold it at any height above about 1.5 metres.
Space plants 1 to 1.5 metres apart for a dense informal screen, or 80 centimetres apart for a tighter formal hedge. Tighter spacing closes the gaps faster but increases competition for water and nutrients, so prepare a continuous trench rather than individual holes and keep irrigation even along the run.
Flowering starts in late autumn and carries into early winter, roughly April through to June across most of southern Australia. Sasanquas flower ahead of japonicas, so this one fills the gap before the japonica season begins. Individual flowers drop cleanly from the plant rather than browning on the bush.
It takes more sun than a japonica and will hold full sun in cooler and coastal districts. In hot inland gardens give it afternoon shade to protect the foliage. It also flowers acceptably in part shade, which makes it one of the more flexible screening plants for a boundary with mixed aspect.
Yes. A pot 40 to 50 centimetres wide suits a single specimen for a courtyard, entry or balcony. Use a free draining camellia and azalea mix, water regularly because containers dry out fast, and feed after flowering. Expect a smaller final size in a container than the same plant would reach in open ground.
Trim once flowering finishes in early winter, taking the new growth back to shape. For a formal hedge, a second light trim in late summer keeps the face tidy. Feed with a camellia fertiliser after pruning, keep mulch over the shallow roots, and water deeply through summer dry spells.
Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Silver Sheen' carries small shimmering silver-green leaves on near-black stems, giving a light airy screen that moves in the wind rather than reading as a solid green wall. It is one of the most widely specified screening plants in Australian landscape design for exactly that reason.
'Silver Sheen' grows to 4 to 6 metres tall but only 1.5 to 2 metres wide at 30 to 60 centimetres per year, which makes it a genuine solution for narrow beds along fence lines and between buildings where height is needed but width is not available. Small cream flowers appear in spring and are lightly fragrant.
'Silver Sheen' grows in full sun to part shade and tolerates light to moderate frost once established, performing from subtropical Queensland through Sydney, Melbourne, Gippsland and Adelaide. It clips well, holds density under regular trimming, and is equally effective as a formal hedge or a loose screen.
About Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Silver Sheen'
'Silver Sheen' grows to 4 to 6 metres tall and only 1.5 to 2 metres wide, which makes it one of the best options for narrow screening where a tall hedge is needed in a shallow bed.
It grows at 30 to 60 centimetres per year once established, reaching a usable screening height within three to four years with regular water and feeding.
It naturally holds to 1.5 to 2 metres wide and can be trimmed to under a metre with regular clipping, which is why it is so often used in tight side-boundary positions.
Plant 1 to 1.5 metres apart for a dense informal screen, or 80 centimetres apart for a tighter formal hedge. Closer spacing fills in faster but needs more trimming.
'Silver Sheen' handles light to moderate frost once established. Young plants benefit from protection through their first winter in colder inland districts.
Yes. It performs in full sun through to part shade. In shadier positions growth is slightly more open, which suits a softer informal screen.
It performs from subtropical Queensland through Northern NSW, Sydney, the South Coast and tablelands, Melbourne and surrounds, the Western District, Gippsland and Adelaide.
Melaleuca nesophila, the Showy Honey Myrtle, is an evergreen Australian native shrub to small tree from the south coast of Western Australia. Fine grey green foliage sits on a dense rounded frame over papery bark, and mauve to pink pom pom flowers cover the outer growth through spring and summer.
Mature width is 2 to 4 metres, with height usually settling around 3 to 5 metres, and growth of 30 to 60 centimetres a year. It wants full sun and takes sand, limestone, gravel and moderately heavy soils. Salt wind, drought and light to moderate frost are all handled once the roots are down.
This is a screening and hedging plant first, used along boundaries, on coastal blocks and through council road reserves where conditions are hard and maintenance budgets are thin. Space it at 1 to 1.5 metres for an informal screen. It gives colour, density and habitat value from one low input plant.
About Showy Honey Myrtle
Melaleuca nesophila, or Showy Honey Myrtle, is an evergreen Australian native shrub to small tree from southern Western Australia. It has fine grey green foliage, a dense rounded habit and soft papery bark, and carries mauve to pink pom pom flowers through spring and summer that age to a soft grey.
It spreads 2 to 4 metres wide and generally reaches 3 to 5 metres tall in a garden, though regular trimming will hold it lower. Growth is moderate to fast at around 30 to 60 centimetres a year, so a screen planted from advanced stock closes over within three or four seasons.
For a dense informal screen, plant 1 to 1.5 metres apart. For a tighter formal hedge, bring that in to 80 centimetres. As a feature tree, allow 3 to 4 metres so the full canopy and form can develop, or 3 metres apart along an avenue for a uniform, soft textured line.
Yes, it is one of the better coastal Melaleucas. It tolerates salt laden wind, sandy and limestone soils, and exposed front line positions once established, which is why it is planted so widely along the southern coastline. In very exposed sites it will lean with the prevailing wind, and most people like the result.
The main flush runs through spring and into summer, roughly September to January. Flowers open mauve to purple pink in dense rounded heads across the outer foliage, then age to grey and stay on the plant. Bees and honeyeaters work it heavily while it is out, so expect plenty of activity.
It handles light to moderate frost once established, which covers most coastal and near coastal parts of southern Australia. Young plants are more vulnerable in their first winter, so plant in autumn or early spring and keep them out of low frost hollows. Hard, repeated inland frost will burn new growth.
Tip prune after flowering to keep it dense and stop the base going bare. It takes a hard cut back if it becomes leggy, though remove no more than about a third at a time. Water through the first summer, then it is largely self sufficient. Use a low phosphorus native fertiliser in spring on poor soils.
Gardenia augusta 'Magnifica' is a compact evergreen flowering shrub valued for its large highly fragrant double white flowers and lush glossy dark green foliage. From late spring through summer it produces creamy-white blooms up to 10 cm across that perfume the surrounding garden, set against broad leathery leaves that hold their colour year-round.
It performs reliably in full sun to part shade with humus-rich, slightly acidic and free-draining soil. Mature plants reach 1.5 to 2 metres tall and 1 to 1.5 metres wide, forming a dense rounded habit that responds well to light pruning after flowering. Gardenia 'Magnifica' is frost tolerant once established and benefits from regular feeding and watering through the warmer months to support strong flowering.
As a fragrant evergreen flowering shrub for cottage, formal, Japanese-inspired and low-maintenance gardens, in courtyards, entrance plantings, informal hedges and decorative pots near pathways, Gardenia augusta 'Magnifica' brings outstanding perfume, glossy foliage and reliable summer flowering to gardens where its scent can be appreciated up close.
About Gardenia augusta 'Magnifica' Magnifica Gardenia
Gardenia 'Magnifica' flowers from late spring through summer, producing large creamy-white double blooms up to 10 cm across. The flowers are intensely fragrant and the display lasts for several months, with light repeat flowering possible into autumn in warm conditions.
Mature plants reach approximately 1.5 to 2 metres tall and 1 to 1.5 metres wide, forming a dense rounded habit. Growth is moderate at 20 to 40 cm per year, and the plant can be lightly pruned to maintain a more compact size or shaped into a formal flowering hedge.
Gardenia 'Magnifica' performs best in warm temperate to subtropical climates with full sun to part shade. It thrives across coastal NSW, Queensland, frost-free parts of Victoria and South Australia, and warm coastal areas. It prefers humus-rich slightly acidic soil and protection from harsh afternoon sun in hot inland areas.
Gardenia 'Magnifica' is frost tolerant once established and handles light to moderate frost without damage. Young plants benefit from protection in their first winter through frost-prone areas, and severe inland frost should be avoided. Mature plants in established positions hold their foliage and form through cooler months.
Yes. Gardenia 'Magnifica' is excellent in large decorative pots near entrances and courtyards where its perfume can be appreciated up close. Use a quality potting mix designed for acid-loving plants, water regularly through the warmer months, and feed with an acid-loving plant food in spring and summer.
Water regularly during the growing season to keep the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged. Feed with an acid-loving plant food in spring and again in mid-summer to support strong flowering. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage dense bushy growth, and mulch annually with an acidic mulch like pine bark.
Yellowing leaves on Gardenia 'Magnifica' usually indicate either iron deficiency in alkaline soil, overwatering, or seasonal cool weather. The most common cause is alkaline soil pH. Apply an iron chelate or soil acidifier, ensure drainage is excellent, and mulch with pine bark to maintain the acidic conditions Gardenias need to thrive.
Acmena smithii 'Sublime' is a compact evergreen lilly pilly with vivid lime-green new growth that matures to deep glossy green. Its naturally upright columnar habit delivers dense coverage from base to tip, making it one of the cleanest, lowest-maintenance screening plants available.
Sublime grows to around 5 metres tall and just 2-3 metres wide, holding a tight column with minimal pruning. The narrow form suits tight boundary lines, pool surrounds, and structured hedges. A non-invasive root system and strong psyllid resistance make it a reliable, well-behaved alternative to more vigorous screening species.
Sublime tolerates clay soils, light frost, and moderate drought once established. It thrives across temperate to subtropical regions of NSW, QLD, VIC and parts of SA and WA, in full sun to part shade.
About Acmena smithii 'Sublime' Lilly Pilly
Sublime grows to around 5 metres tall and just 2-3 metres wide, with a naturally upright columnar form.
Sublime is fast-growing, adding 50-80cm per year once established.
Yes. Acmena smithii 'Sublime' has strong psyllid resistance, so it holds clean, unblemished foliage where older lilly pilly types can suffer pimple-like leaf damage.
Yes. The dense columnar habit makes Sublime ideal for narrow hedges, screens, and pool surrounds where clean form is needed.
No. Sublime has a non-invasive root system, making it a safer choice near paving, pools, and boundaries than more vigorous screening species.
Plant 60-80cm apart for a dense formal hedge, or 1 metre for a more relaxed screen.
Sublime thrives across temperate to subtropical regions of NSW, QLD, VIC and parts of SA and WA, tolerating clay soils, light frost, and moderate drought once established.
Trachelospermum jasminoides 'Balls' is Star Jasmine grown and clipped into a dense evergreen sphere. The small glossy leaves sit tight on a woody framework, holding a clean rounded outline year round. White pinwheel flowers open in spring and carry a strong sweet scent right across a courtyard.
Ball specimens hold at about 1 to 1.5 metres tall and wide with light clipping. Full sun to part shade suits them, in any free draining soil. Growth is slow to moderate at 30 to 50 centimetres a year. They handle coastal exposure, light frost and dry spells once the roots are down.
Repeat them along a driveway, either side of an entry, or in pots on a terrace where a formal shape is wanted straight away. They read as structure in a planting scheme without the height of a hedge, and because the form is already trained, a new garden looks settled from the day it goes in.
About Star Jasmine Balls
They are Trachelospermum jasminoides, the common Star Jasmine, grown and clipped into a dense evergreen sphere on a woody framework. Instead of climbing, the plant is trained into a self supporting rounded shape. The foliage is small, glossy and dark green, and the plant carries scented white flowers through spring.
They hold at roughly 1 to 1.5 metres tall and 1 to 1.5 metres wide. Growth is slow to moderate at 30 to 50 centimetres a year, so a light clip once or twice a year keeps the ball tight at whatever size within that range suits the setting.
Full sun to part shade both work. Full sun gives the densest foliage and the heaviest flowering, while part shade produces slightly softer, more open growth and fewer flowers. Avoid deep shade, where the ball thins out and loses its outline. Morning sun with afternoon protection suits hot inland gardens.
Yes, and pots are one of the main uses. A container 50 to 60 centimetres wide with a quality free draining mix will hold a ball for years. Water more often than you would in the ground, especially in summer, and feed in spring and again in late summer. Refresh the mix every few years.
Yes, the foliage is held year round. The glossy dark green leaves take on a bronze tinge in cold weather and green up again in spring, but the plant never goes bare. That is what makes it useful as permanent structure in a scheme, particularly in winter once perennials have died back.
Flowering runs through spring, roughly September to November, and often carries into early summer in warmer districts. The white pinwheel flowers are small but produced in quantity, and the scent is strong on still evenings. Flowering is heaviest on plants in full sun that were not clipped hard just before bud set.
Clip lightly with hedging shears once after flowering and again in late summer if needed, taking only the new growth to keep the outline crisp. Water deeply in dry weather, mulch the base, and feed in early spring. The sap is milky and can irritate skin, so wear gloves when trimming.
Agonis flexuosa 'Burgundy' is a medium-sized evergreen Australian native grown for its rich burgundy-purple foliage and graceful weeping form. The deep leaf colour creates bold contrast against green plantings, while the lance-shaped leaves release a subtle aroma when crushed.
Burgundy Willow Myrtle grows to 5-7 metres tall and 3-4 metres wide with a soft weeping habit. The graceful form and manageable size suit informal screens, feature planting, avenue lines, residential gardens, and streetscapes. Small white flowers appear through spring and summer, adding a light seasonal display.
Burgundy Willow Myrtle is highly drought tolerant once established and also handles coastal exposure including salt spray and wind. It performs best in full sun to part shade across WA, SA, VIC, NSW and southern QLD, tolerating light frost once established.
About Agonis flexuosa 'Burgundy' Willow Myrtle
Burgundy Willow Myrtle grows to 5-7 metres tall and 3-4 metres wide with a graceful weeping form.
Agonis Burgundy is moderately fast-growing, adding 40-60cm per year once established.
Agonis flexuosa 'Burgundy' produces small clustered white flowers through spring and summer. While subtle, the blooms add a delicate contrast to its deep burgundy foliage, offering a light seasonal display.
Yes. Agonis flexuosa is native to south-western Western Australia. 'Burgundy' is a selected cultivar of the species with rich burgundy-purple foliage in place of the species' green leaves.
Yes. Burgundy Willow Myrtle is highly drought tolerant once established and also handles coastal exposure including salt spray and sandy soils.
Agonis Burgundy thrives across most of Australia, particularly in WA, SA, VIC, NSW, and southern QLD. It tolerates light frost once established and prefers full sun.
Plant 3-4 metres apart for a feature row or informal screen, or 5 metres for individual canopy spread.
Agonis flexuosa 'Lemon & Lime' is a variegated form of the Western Australian Willow Myrtle, an evergreen native tree with fine weeping foliage. Each narrow leaf is edged in cream to lemon over mid green, and new growth flushes brightest, so the canopy reads as a soft wash of colour rather than hard variegation.
It grows 40 to 70 centimetres a year to 6.8 to 8 metres high and about as wide, in full sun to light shade. Sandy and limestone soils suit it, salt wind does not trouble it, and established trees handle dry summers. Light frost is tolerated, though young trees need shelter in cold inland districts.
The weeping habit and pale foliage make it useful as a lawn specimen, a street tree in coastal suburbs, or a screen when planted about three metres apart. Crush a leaf and it smells of peppermint. Roots are not considered aggressive, so it can sit reasonably close to paving and driveways.
About Lemon & Lime Willow Myrtle
It is a variegated form of the Western Australian Willow Myrtle, an evergreen native tree with fine weeping foliage. Each narrow leaf carries a cream to lemon edge over mid green, brightest on new growth, and the leaves smell of peppermint when crushed. Small white flowers appear along the stems in spring and summer.
It reaches about 6.8 to 8 metres high and 6.8 to 8 metres wide at maturity, forming a rounded weeping canopy roughly as broad as it is tall. Plan for the full width when siting it near buildings or boundaries. It can be held lower with light annual pruning if a smaller tree is wanted.
Around 40 to 70 centimetres a year once established, which is moderate to quick for a native tree. Trees planted at 100 litre size give usable canopy in the first season. Growth is fastest in warm coastal conditions with occasional deep watering, and slower in cold or very dry inland gardens.
It is at its best in Perth, Adelaide, coastal New South Wales and Victoria, and the milder parts of south east Queensland, where it takes sandy and limestone soils in its stride. Established trees tolerate light frost, but young plants are damaged by hard frost, so protect them through their first two winters inland.
Yes. The species grows naturally on the south west coast of Western Australia, directly behind the dunes, and tolerates salt-laden wind and sand. It is one of the more dependable variegated trees for beachside streets and gardens. In extreme front line exposure the canopy will lean with the prevailing wind.
For a dense informal screen, plant 3 metres apart and let the canopies knit together. For a clipped formal hedge, 2 metres apart works well. As a row of individual feature trees or an avenue, 3 to 4 metres apart lets each canopy develop its full weeping form.
Water deeply through the first two summers, then only in prolonged dry weather. Prune lightly after flowering to keep the canopy dense; it responds well to a trim but avoid cutting hard into old bare wood. Mulch out to the drip line, keeping it off the trunk, and feed with a low phosphorus native fertiliser in spring.
Waterhousea floribunda (Weeping Lilly Pilly) is a fast-growing, Australian native tree ideal for informal hedging, screening, and boundary planting. It features dense, weeping foliage with vibrant pink to wine-coloured new growth and a lush, cascading form that softens garden edges while providing year-round privacy and wind protection.
Reaching heights of up to 12 metres, it delivers effective noise reduction and visual screening, making it suitable for urban gardens, poolside planting, rural boundaries, and streetscapes. Its fluffy white flowers attract birds, bees, and beneficial insects, supporting local biodiversity. Tolerates a range of soils and thrives in full sun to part shade with adequate watering. Low maintenance and naturally tidy, it can be left unpruned or shaped as needed. Not drought or frost tolerant but highly resilient in temperate climates.
About Waterhousea floribunda Weeping Lilly Pilly
Waterhousea reaches 8-12 metres tall in residential gardens, with a graceful cascading weeping habit. It can be kept lower with regular pruning.
Waterhousea is fast-growing, adding 50-80cm per year once established in suitable conditions.
Yes. Waterhousea is excellent for tall informal hedges and privacy screens, particularly where a soft, weeping look is wanted. For tighter formal hedging, Syzygium varieties hold a cleaner shape.
Waterhousea has low frost tolerance and is best suited to temperate and subtropical Australian climates. Avoid in regions with regular heavy frosts.
Plant 1-1.5 metres apart for a dense weeping screen, or 2 metres for a more open effect with airier gaps between trees.
Yes. The fluffy white summer flowers draw native birds, bees and pollinators, and the dense canopy provides shelter and nesting habitat.
Waterhousea has a fibrous, non-aggressive root system and is one of the more forgiving screening trees to plant near paving, pools and boundaries. It is still a large tree, so allow at least 2 to 3 metres from built structures and keep it away from drainage lines. Deep, less frequent watering encourages roots to go down rather than run along the surface.
Tristaniopsis laurina 'Luscious' / Watergum Trees is a dependable choice for structured feature and street tree planting in urban and coastal landscapes. Its compact, upright form with dense, glossy evergreen foliage and striking copper-bronze new growth creates year-round visual interest and clean architectural lines.
Growing 7-10 metres tall with a 4-5 metre spread, it thrives in full sun to part shade and tolerates coastal exposure, urban pollution, and moderate drought. Its fragrant yellow flowers in late spring to summer add seasonal appeal.
For greater landscape impact, plant 'Luscious' with low-growing groundcovers or shade-tolerant shrubs beneath to enhance layered texture and biodiversity. Its tidy habit and pruning tolerance make it ideal for formal streetscapes, courtyards, or informal screening in medium to large gardens.
About Tristaniopsis laurina 'Luscious' Watergum
Luscious grows to 7-10 metres tall with a 4-5 metre spread, with a compact upright form.
Luscious has a moderate growth rate of 40-60cm per year once established.
Yes. Luscious is widely used by Australian councils as a street tree thanks to its tolerance of urban pollution, coastal exposure, and tight pavement conditions.
Yes. Tristaniopsis laurina is an Australian native, naturally found along watercourses on the east coast.
Fragrant yellow flowers appear in late spring to summer, typically November to January.
Plant 1.5-2 metres apart for a continuous canopy or row, or 3-4 metres for individual feature trees.
Luscious handles light to moderate frost once established, which suits most temperate and coastal gardens along the east coast. Young trees are more sensitive, so protect them through their first winter or two in areas that get regular heavy frost. In cold inland districts, plant in a sheltered position with good drainage and mulch the root zone to keep soil temperatures steadier.
