Citrus reticulata 'Ellendale' is an Australian raised mandarin tangor, an evergreen tree carrying large fruit with a deep orange rind that still lifts away by hand. The flesh is sweet, richly flavoured and juicy. The canopy is rounded and glossy, and fragrant white blossom opens through spring.
Expect 3 to 4 metres tall and 2 to 3 metres wide at a moderate 30 to 50 centimetres a year. It wants full sun, fertile free draining soil and even water through fruit fill. Once established it takes light to moderate frost, which puts it within reach of cooler inland and southern districts.
Ellendale is the mandarin to plant for late season fruit, filling the gap after the early varieties have finished. It suits home orchards and mixed edible gardens where there is space for a second citrus nearby as a pollinator. Fruit size and flavour are what commercial growers built its reputation on.
About Ellendale Mandarin
Citrus reticulata 'Ellendale' is an Australian raised tangor, a natural cross between mandarin and orange, found in Queensland in the early twentieth century. It has the easy peeling habit and shape of a mandarin with the size and richer flavour of an orange, and it has been a mainstay of the Australian citrus industry.
Ellendale is a mid to late season variety, ripening through the middle and later part of winter, roughly July into September. That is well after the early mandarins, which is precisely why it is planted. Leave fruit on the tree until fully coloured, since mandarins do not develop further sugar once picked.
It sets a much better crop with another citrus flowering nearby, so plant a second mandarin or an orange within bee range. On its own it will still fruit, but yields are lighter and more variable year to year. Cross pollination also means more seeds in the fruit, which is the trade off.
About 3 to 4 metres tall and 2 to 3 metres wide in the ground, with a rounded canopy. Growth is moderate at 30 to 50 centimetres a year. Pruning after harvest keeps the fruit within reach and opens the centre, which matters on a variety that carries a heavy crop.
Once established it handles light to moderate frost, making it one of the hardier citrus for cool temperate gardens. Young trees need protection for their first two winters with frost cloth or a sheltered position. Hard frost during flowering will still cost you the following crop, so avoid open low lying frost hollows.
Allow about 3 metres between trees in a home orchard so each canopy develops fully and air moves through. Since Ellendale wants a pollinator, that spacing also puts a partner tree comfortably within bee range. Keep trees at least 2 metres clear of walls, fences and paving to avoid crowding the roots.
Water deeply and consistently from flowering to harvest, and mulch the root zone leaving a gap at the trunk. Apply citrus fertiliser in early spring and again in late summer. Thin heavy crops on young trees, prune lightly after picking, remove any growth below the graft, and watch for leaf miner and scale.

Citrus reticulata 'Ellendale' – Ellendale Mandarin is Native to Citrus reticulata originates in southern China and South East Asia. 'Ellendale' is a tangor, a natural mandarin and orange cross, found in Queensland in the early twentieth century and long a mainstay of the Australian citrus industry.
Heavily scented spring blossom is a strong nectar and pollen source for honeybees and native bees, and bee activity directly improves fruit set on this variety. The dense evergreen canopy also shelters small birds and beneficial insects year round.
Citrus reticulata 'Ellendale' – Ellendale Mandarin will thrive best in:
Ellendale performs best in fertile, free draining loam or sandy loam at a neutral to slightly acidic pH, with organic matter worked through to hold moisture through the long fruit fill. It will accept a range of garden soils where drainage stays reliable. Avoid heavy clay and any position where water sits, as root stress on a heavily cropping tangor shows quickly as small fruit and leaf yellowing.
Is Citrus reticulata 'Ellendale' – Ellendale Mandarin Drought tolerant?
Young trees need regular deep watering to establish a productive root system. Once settled Ellendale shows moderate drought tolerance, but it carries large heavy fruit and uneven watering through the long fill period causes fruit drop, splitting and thinner flesh, so consistent moisture pays off.

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.
Westringia fruticosa, Coastal Rosemary, is an Australian native evergreen shrub from the headlands and dunes of the east coast. It builds a dense rounded bush of fine grey green leaves held in whorls, with small white to pale lilac flowers. Despite the common name it is not the culinary herb.
Mature plants sit at 1.5 to 2 metres tall and 1.5 to 2 metres wide, growing 30 to 60 centimetres a year, and they clip smaller without complaint. Full sun to part shade and sharp drainage are the requirements. Salt wind, sandy soil, drought and light to moderate frost are all handled.
It is a standard on coastal projects, road verges, council garden beds and exposed banks that need erosion cover. Plant 1 to 1.5 metres apart for an informal screen, or 80 centimetres for a clipped hedge. A single plant fills a 40 to 50 centimetre pot on a courtyard or balcony.
About Coastal Rosemary
Westringia fruticosa is an Australian native evergreen shrub from the headlands and dunes of the east coast. It forms a dense rounded bush of fine grey green leaves held in whorls, with small white to pale lilac flowers. Despite the common name it is not culinary rosemary and is not used in cooking.
Mature plants reach 1.5 to 2 metres tall and 1.5 to 2 metres wide. It clips readily to smaller dimensions and is often maintained at around a metre as a hedge or a low mound. Growth is moderate, roughly 30 to 60 centimetres a year, so it holds a trimmed shape well.
It is one of the best shrubs available for exposed coastal work. It grows naturally on sea cliffs and copes with salt laden wind, sand and reflected heat. It is used constantly on beachfront reserves, dune stabilisation projects and seaside gardens where little else holds a tidy shape.
The main flush is spring and summer, roughly September through February, with scattered flowering at other times of the year in mild districts. The flowers are small, white to pale lilac and sit among the foliage rather than above it. Clipped hedges flower less than plants left to grow informally.
Space plants 80 centimetres apart for a tight formal hedge, or 1 to 1.5 metres apart for a dense informal screen. On banks and batters used for erosion cover, 1 metre in a staggered grid gives full ground coverage within about two growing seasons.
Yes. A pot 40 to 50 centimetres wide suits a single plant for a courtyard, entry or balcony. Use a free draining mix, because the roots will not tolerate sitting wet. Container plants need watering more often than those in the ground, plus a light trim to hold their shape.
Trim lightly two or three times a year, taking the soft new growth and avoiding cuts into bare old wood, which reshoots poorly. Water through the first summer, then only in extended dry spells. On most soils it needs no feeding at all, and it resents heavy watering and poor drainage.
Westringia 'Wynyabbie Blue' is a hardy Australian native shrub grown for its lilac blue flowers, which are larger and more freely carried than those of the common white forms. Narrow grey green leaves sit in neat whorls on a dense rounded frame that holds its shape through the year.
Expect 1.5 to 2 metres in height and width at maturity, at 30 to 60 centimetres a year. Full sun brings the heaviest flowering, though part shade is accepted. Drainage matters above everything else, after which it takes salt wind, sandy or gravelly ground, drought and light to moderate frost.
Mass plantings on batters, median strips and coastal frontages are where it earns its keep, and it clips into a low hedge of about a metre without losing its flowering. Plant 1 to 1.5 metres apart for an informal screen. One plant fills a 40 to 50 centimetre pot neatly.
About Wynyabbie Blue Coastal Rosemary
Westringia 'Wynyabbie Blue' is a hardy Australian native shrub grown for its lilac blue flowers, which are larger and more freely carried than those of the common white forms. Narrow grey green leaves sit in neat whorls on a dense rounded frame. It is evergreen and holds its structure all year.
It reaches 1.5 to 2 metres tall and 1.5 to 2 metres wide at maturity, growing 30 to 60 centimetres a year. It clips comfortably to around a metre if you want a lower hedge, and it will hold that height indefinitely given two or three light trims a year.
From spring right through autumn, roughly September to May, with sporadic flowers in winter in mild districts. The lilac blue flowers open in flushes rather than all at once, so there is usually some colour on the plant. Flowering is heaviest in full sun on lean, well drained soil.
Yes. Once the roots are established it needs very little water and copes with extended dry periods, which is why it is used on unirrigated median strips and road verges. Drainage matters more than watering, since the plant will die in soggy ground long before it dies of thirst.
It is. Salt laden wind, sandy soils and reflected heat are all handled, and it is planted routinely on foreshore reserves and beachside gardens. In very exposed frontal positions the plant stays lower and denser than it would inland, which generally suits the situation anyway.
Use 80 centimetres between plants for a clipped formal hedge, or 1 to 1.5 metres for a dense informal screen. For mass planting on banks and median strips, 1 metre in a staggered pattern gives full coverage within about two growing seasons and shades out most weeds.
Trim lightly after each flowering flush, taking soft growth only. Cutting back into bare old wood leaves gaps that will not fill in, so stay on top of it rather than letting it get away. Water through the first summer, then rarely. Avoid rich soils and heavy fertiliser.
