Evergreen Plants

Christmas Star is a compact, conical spruce with dense, fine green foliage that creates a neat and attractive appearance throughout the year. Its naturally symmetrical shape makes it an excellent choice for decorative pots, rockeries, courtyards, and bonsai training. During the festive season, it shines as a living Christmas tree, bringing a traditional touch to indoor and outdoor displays. Unlike cut Christmas trees, Christmas Star can be enjoyed year after year. When the festive season is over, move it outdoors to a sheltered, shady position and gradually reintroduce it to filtered sunlight. It grows well in containers and can be repotted into larger pots as it matures, making it a long-lasting feature for patios and balconies. Alternatively, it can be planted in the garden where it will develop into an attractive specimen tree. 

Soil: Grows best in well-drained soil.
Conditions: Thrives in full sun or part shade. Frost tolerant. Keep moist and gradually reintroduce to full sun after Christmas.
Size: It’ll grow 1.3m tall in the first 10 years.

Citrus Calamondin Variegated, also known as the Calamansi tree, is a beautiful and productive citrus prized for its striking green and cream variegated foliage, fragrant white blossoms, and masses of small, tangy fruit. Rich in vitamin C, the vibrant orange fruit has a zesty flavour that makes an excellent substitute for lemon or lime in cooking, marinades, dressings, desserts, cocktails, and refreshing drinks. This compact citrus typically begins producing fruit from around three years of age and is well suited to pots, courtyards, patios, or sunny garden beds. A heavy feeder, it responds well to regular applications of a quality citrus fertiliser or slow-release fertiliser up to four times a year. Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to maintain a neat shape and encourage healthy new growth.

Soil: Well-drained, slightly acidic soil.
Conditions: Full sun with 6-8 hours of sun per day. Prefers warm temperate climates.
Size: Height 3-6m x width 3-4m
