Punica granatum 'Wonderful' is the commercial standard pomegranate, carrying large deep red fruit with sweet-tart juicy arils and exceptional keeping quality. Bright orange-red trumpet flowers through spring and summer make it ornamental well before the fruit arrives.
'Wonderful' grows to 3 to 5 metres tall and 2 to 4 metres wide at 30 to 60 centimetres per year, and can be trained as a multi-stemmed shrub or a single-trunk small tree. Glossy foliage turns clear yellow in autumn before dropping, giving a third season of interest.
'Wonderful' is frost hardy, surviving heavy and frequent frost without damage, and is highly drought tolerant once established. It wants full sun and free-draining soil, and fruits best in districts with a long hot dry summer to ripen the crop properly.
About Punica granatum 'Wonderful'
'Wonderful' grows to 3 to 5 metres tall and 2 to 4 metres wide. It can be trained as a multi-stemmed shrub or pruned to a single trunk as a small feature tree.
Fruit ripens through autumn, following orange-red flowering in spring and summer. The fruit stores exceptionally well, which is why 'Wonderful' is the main commercial variety.
Yes. 'Wonderful' is self-fertile and will crop from a single tree, though fruit set improves with bee activity during flowering.
Yes. 'Wonderful' performs well in a large pot in full sun with free-draining mix. Container trees stay smaller and crop lighter but fruit reliably with consistent watering and feeding.
Yes. It is frost hardy and survives heavy and frequent frost without damage. It is deciduous, so winter cold does not affect the plant while it is dormant.
It fruits best where summers are long, hot and dry. In humid or short-summer districts the tree grows well and flowers, but fruit may not ripen fully or may split.
It is highly drought tolerant once established, but consistent water through fruit development prevents splitting. Irregular watering is the most common cause of split fruit.

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.

Rhaphiolepis indica 'Snow Maiden' is a compact evergreen shrub that delivers a fresh burst of fragrant pure white flowers from late winter into spring. The dense mounding habit and glossy dark green foliage give it a lush, polished year-round appearance.
Snow Maiden grows to just 1-1.5 metres tall and wide, holding a naturally tidy rounded form with minimal pruning. The compact size makes it an excellent choice for low clipped hedges, borders, mass plantings, and containers, and it works well as a standout specimen in mixed plantings. Small dark berries follow the flowers.
Snow Maiden performs well in full sun to part shade and is drought hardy once established, thriving in coastal gardens and a wide range of well-drained soils. It is salt tolerant, low maintenance, and needs only moderate water while establishing.

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.

Prunus salicina 'Mariposa' is a compact deciduous Japanese plum, often sold as a blood plum. Pink tinged blossom covers the bare framework in spring, followed by glossy oval leaves. The fruit is large and heart shaped, with dark red flesh that is sweet, juicy and low in acid, good eaten fresh or cooked into preserves.
Give it full sun, at least six hours a day, and free draining soil with organic matter worked through. It fruits well in cool and warm temperate districts and needs a cold winter to set a proper crop. Growth is 50 to 80 centimetres a year. Water consistently while the fruit swells, then ease off.
The compact size suits small backyards, edible garden beds and large containers where a full sized plum would take over the space. It also trains neatly along a fence or against a sunny wall. Plant a Santa Rosa or Satsuma alongside and you have a productive pair in a very small footprint.
About Mariposa Plum
Mariposa is a Japanese plum cultivar, Prunus salicina 'Mariposa', grown for large heart shaped fruit with deep red flesh, a sweet low acid flavour and a stone that separates cleanly. The tree is deciduous, compact and rounded, with pink tinged spring blossom and glossy leaves. Growers often call it a blood plum because of the flesh colour.
Expect a spread of 2 to 3 metres and a similar height under normal annual pruning, which is what makes it a genuine small garden fruit tree. Left completely unpruned on vigorous rootstock it will push taller over time, so a yearly cut keeps both the size and the fruit within easy reach from the ground.
Yes. Mariposa is not self fertile and needs a compatible Japanese plum flowering at the same time to set fruit. Santa Rosa and Satsuma are the usual partners, planted within about 10 to 15 metres. Without a pollinator you will get a full display of blossom in spring and very little fruit, which catches out a lot of new growers.
Flowering is in spring, generally September and October, with the blossom opening as the leaves begin to move. Fruit follows through summer and is usually ready from late December into February depending on your district. Warmer areas ripen earlier, and cool highland gardens sit at the later end of that window.
It is one of the better plums for containers because of its compact frame. Use a pot of at least 80 to 100 litres with a quality free draining mix, water daily in hot weather, and feed through spring and summer. You will still need a compatible pollinating variety nearby, whether that is in the ground or in a second pot.
The tree is fully frost hardy while dormant and in fact needs cold winters to crop properly. The vulnerable moment is spring, when a late frost on open blossom can wipe out that year's fruit. In frost pocket gardens, plant on a slope or a raised position where cold air drains away rather than in the lowest corner.
Water deeply while the fruit is sizing and mulch to hold that moisture, keeping mulch off the trunk. Prune in late summer or early autumn in dry weather to avoid canker, keeping an open vase shape. Thin heavy crops so the branches are not overloaded, and net the tree as fruit colours if birds are a problem.

Prunus dulcis 'All In One' is the almond that crops without a partner. Most almonds need a second variety flowering alongside them to set nuts, whereas 'All In One' is fully self-fertile, which makes a single tree viable in a suburban backyard.
'All In One' grows to 3 to 5 metres tall and 2 to 3 metres wide at 60 to 90 centimetres per year, and is easily held smaller with annual pruning. It carries heavy crops of soft-shelled almonds that can be cracked by hand, and covers itself in pale pink blossom in late winter before any leaves appear.
'All In One' is frost hardy, surviving heavy and frequent frost without damage, and needs winter chill and a hot dry summer to ripen its crop. It wants full sun and free-draining soil, and should be pruned after harvest rather than in winter.
About Prunus dulcis 'All In One'
Yes. 'All In One' is fully self-fertile and will set a heavy crop from a single tree, unlike most almond varieties which need a second variety planted nearby.
It reaches 3 to 5 metres tall and 2 to 3 metres wide, and is easily held at 2.5 to 3 metres with annual pruning, which keeps the harvest within reach.
Nuts ripen through late summer into autumn. The hulls split open on the tree when the crop is ready, which is the signal to harvest.
No. 'All In One' produces soft-shelled almonds that can be cracked by hand or with light pressure, which makes home processing far easier than with hard-shelled varieties.
Pale pink blossom covers the bare branches in late winter and early spring, before the foliage emerges. It is one of the earliest fruit trees to flower.
They need winter chill to break dormancy and a hot dry summer to ripen and cure the nuts. Humid summers cause hull rot and poor kernel quality.
Prune after harvest rather than in winter, which reduces the risk of fungal and bacterial infection through open pruning wounds.

Prunus armeniaca 'Moorpark' is the apricot most Australians remember from a grandparent's backyard, carrying large golden-orange fruit with a depth of flavour that commercial varieties bred for transport do not match. It is self-fertile, so a single tree will crop on its own.
'Moorpark' grows to 4 to 7 metres tall and 4 to 6 metres wide at 30 to 60 centimetres per year, and is readily held smaller with annual pruning. Pale pink blossom covers the bare branches in early spring, making the tree genuinely ornamental before any fruit appears.
'Moorpark' is frost hardy, surviving heavy and frequent frost without damage, and needs winter chill to crop reliably. It wants full sun, free-draining soil and pruning immediately after harvest rather than in winter, which reduces the risk of fungal infection.
About Prunus armeniaca 'Moorpark'
Moorpark ripens through mid to late summer. The fruit does not all ripen at once, which spreads the harvest over two to three weeks in a home garden.
Yes. Moorpark is self-fertile and will set a full crop from a single tree without needing a second apricot variety nearby.
It reaches 4 to 7 metres tall and 4 to 6 metres wide unpruned, and is easily held at 3 metres with annual pruning, which keeps the fruit within reach.
Yes. Like all apricots it needs a period of winter chill to break dormancy and crop reliably, so it performs best in temperate and cool districts.
Prune straight after harvest in summer, never in winter. Apricots are highly susceptible to bacterial canker and fungal infection through winter pruning wounds.
Yes, in a large pot with free-draining mix in full sun. Container trees stay smaller and crop lighter, and need consistent watering through fruit development.
Yes. The tree survives heavy and frequent frost without damage, though late frosts during spring blossom can reduce that season's crop.

'May Grand' grows to 3 to 5 metres tall and 3 to 4.5 metres wide at 60 to 90 centimetres per year, and is easily held smaller with annual pruning. Masses of pink blossom cover the bare branches in early spring, which makes it genuinely ornamental as well as productive.
'May Grand' is frost hardy, surviving heavy and frequent frost without damage, and needs a cold winter to set fruit properly. It wants full sun, free-draining soil and annual pruning after harvest to keep the tree open and productive.
About Prunus persica 'May Grand'
'May Grand' is an early-season nectarine, ripening from late spring in warmer districts and early summer in cooler ones. It is among the first nectarines available each season.
Yes. 'May Grand' is self-fertile and will set a full crop from a single tree without needing a second variety nearby for pollination.
It reaches 3 to 5 metres tall and 3 to 4.5 metres wide if left unpruned, and is easily held at 2.5 to 3 metres with annual pruning, which also makes harvesting simpler.
Yes, in a large pot with free-draining mix and full sun. Container-grown trees crop lighter and need consistent watering and annual pruning to stay productive.
Prune straight after harvest in summer, not in winter. Summer pruning reduces the risk of fungal infection and lets you shape the tree while you can see the fruiting wood.
Yes. Like all nectarines it needs a period of winter chill to break dormancy and set fruit reliably, so it performs best in temperate and cool districts rather than the subtropics.
Yes. The tree is frost hardy and survives heavy and frequent frost without damage, though late frosts during flowering can reduce that season's crop.
