Lisbon Lemon Grafted is a robust and highly productive lemon variety known for its high yield of tart, juicy lemons. Lisbons are the most common commercially grown lemon in Australia thanks to their long-lasting, but thin skin. They have a high juice content with good acidity, so they’re great for cooking, baking, and making beverages like a classically refreshing lemonade. Lisbons are one of the quicker-growing citrus trees, however they can be quite thorny, so do be careful when harvesting. Regular pruning helps maintain a compact shape and stimulates fruit production.

Soil: Well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun to part shade. Protect from strong winds especially during flowering or while fruit is forming.
Size: Height 2.5-6m x width 1-4m

Grevillea Autumn Waterfall is a beautiful, sprawling ground cover that flowers mainly in winter and spring. Its standout feature is the vibrant cascade of orange-red blooms that appear from late summer through to early winter.

Rich in nectar, the flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. Autumn Waterfall is ideal for adding year-round interest, colour, and pollinator appeal to native gardens, mixed beds, or wildlife-friendly landscape.

Diploglotis campbellii, or Small-leaved Tamarind, is a compact, dense tree that rewards gardeners with an abundance of large, red-orange fruits packed with delicious, tangy pulp. From November to January, look out for its small, cream-brown flowers, which develop into impressive fruits up to 6 cm across by February to April. As the fruits ripen, their hard, yellow-brown skins split open to reveal the vibrant red flesh inside. A prolific fruiter, this tree can yield many kilograms of fruit per harvest. Its refreshingly tart flavour is wonderfully versatile, lending itself to both sweet and savoury dishes. Popular uses include jams, jellies, sauces, chutneys, spreads, and coulis, and it also pairs beautifully with cheeses and cold meats.
For best growth, apply an organic or slow-release fertiliser in early spring.

Soil: Well-drained soil that’s rich in organic matter.
Conditions: Part shade. Coastal tolerant.

Cyathea brownii, commonly known as the Norfolk Island Tree Fern, is the largest tree fern species in the world. Tall, elegant and unmistakably prehistoric in character, it forms a single towering trunk that can reach up to 20 metres, crowned with deeply divided fronds that stretch an impressive five to six metres in length. As the plant matures, the trunk becomes smooth and patterned with distinctive oval scars left by fallen fronds, while older fronds hang neatly before dropping cleanly to maintain a tidy silhouette.
With its enormous umbrella crown and statuesque form, Cyathea brownii makes a spectacular feature in gardens that can offer humidity and sheltered conditions. Keep it looking its best by removing spent fronds and ensuring the trunk remains well hydrated. Its limited root system means it readily drinks through its trunk, so regular watering down the trunk—either with a hose or drip line—is highly beneficial, especially during hot weather.

Soil: Thrives in deep, moist, well-drained loams.
Conditions: Grows best in a semi-shaded position with consistent moisture.
Size: Height 15m x width 4m

Thuja orientalis Blue Cone is a compact, upright conifer valued for its dense, soft blue-green foliage and neat, oval to conical habit. As the plant matures, it produces distinctive glaucous-blue cones that stand out beautifully against the bright green, vertically arranged sprays of foliage. This hardy, slow-growing variety maintains good colour year-round, with only mild bronzing in winter. Its tidy form and moderate growth rate make it an excellent choice for mixed borders, low screening, rock gardens, containers, or anywhere a touch of texture and formality is desired.

Soil: Well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun. Drought and coastal tolerant
Size: Height 1m x width 0.70m

An elegant evergreen shrub, Camellia Jean May is a reliable performer admired for its abundance of soft shell-pink blooms.

Hardy and versatile, Jean May is ideal for hedging, screening, or growing as a standout specimen in the garden. Its refined form and year-round structure make it perfect for cottage gardens, mixed borders, outdoor living areas, or as a lush backdrop to highlight smaller plants.
