Conditions: Excellent for sunny and semi-shaded areas. Drought, light frost and coastal tolerant.

The Emperor mandarin is a classic, much-loved variety, prized for its loose, puffy skin that makes peeling quick and easy. It develops excellent colour and a rich, sweet flavour, with only a small number of seeds. Once mature, the tree is capable of producing a heavy crop of fruit that can be left on the tree and picked gradually, rather than all at once. It produces fragrant, creamy-white blossoms that give way to medium-sized, bright orange fruit ripening from June to July. Ideal for modern gardens, the dwarf form is perfectly suited to growing in tubs, espaliered along a fence, or in courtyards and balcony spaces. For best results, position it in a warm, sunny spot and provide regular watering during the growing season to encourage healthy growth and high-quality fruit

Soil: Well-drained soil
Conditions: Full sun. Protect from strong winds during flowering or while the fruit is forming. Light frost, humidity and coastal tolerant.

Callistemon Western Glory produces an abundance of nectar-rich, rose-pink flowers with a soft hint of lilac. These striking bottlebrush blooms appear in profusion from late spring through summer, with occasional spot flowering in autumn. The flowers are highly attractive to nectar-feeding birds and beneficial insects. This hardy, large shrub is well suited to informal hedging and screening, where its colourful floral display and dense growth create an attractive garden feature. Prune after flowering to encourage strong new growth and maintain a tidy, bushy habit.

Soil: Well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun to partial shade. Drought, frost and coastal tolerant.

Picea abies, commonly known as Norway Spruce, is a hardy evergreen conifer with a dense, pyramidal shape and gracefully layered branches that sweep slightly upward at the tips. In spring, fresh bright green new growth emerges, creating a soft and vibrant display against the darker mature foliage. Sharp needles, reddish-brown scaly bark, and decorative hanging cones add year-round interest and character. A versatile and long-lived tree, Norway Spruce is ideal as a feature specimen, windbreak, privacy screen, large hedge, paddock tree, or even a living Christmas tree when young.  Apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser in spring to encourage healthy growth and maintain its lush appearance.

Soil: Well-drained, slightly acid loam. Mulch well and do not allow it to dry out as it can cause serious, unrepairable leaf damage.
Conditions: Full sun to part shade. This species is particularly hardy, pest resistant, and withstands strong winds, extreme cold, and drought.
Size: Height 35-55m x width 8m

Corymbia maculata - Spotted Gum - is a large native tree with a tall, straight trunk with a beautiful mottled camouflage appearance as old bark sheds in summer. Foliage is dark green and glossy with small, fragrant white flowers right through autumn and winter. The blossoms produce good quality pollen for bees, nectar for honeyeaters, and leaves are favoured by koalas. Excellent for screening, shade, or as a specimen tree, revegetation and koala habitat. Good paddock tree as the thick bark resists gnawing.

Soil: Well-drained soil. Does not like wet feet
Conditions: Full sun. Stake and protect from strong winds until the plant is established. Can be frost tender in prolonged frost sites. Tolerant of most Australian climates.

Orange Valencia Seedless is a compact evergreen citrus tree prized for its rich green foliage, fragrant white blossoms and delicious juicy fruit. Flowering mainly in spring and late summer, the tree produces masses of petite scented blooms that are often seen alongside ripening oranges, creating an attractive display for many months. The large rounded fruit have thin skin, are virtually seedless and are known for their sweet flavour and excellent juicing qualities. Ideal for backyards, courtyards and large pots, Orange Valencia Seedless is both ornamental and productive. Its neat growth habit makes it easy to manage while still producing generous crops of fruit that can remain on the tree well into summer. This self-pollinating variety only requires one tree to produce fruit.

Soil: Well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun. Protect from strong winds especially during flowering or while fruit is forming.
Size: Height 3-4m x width 3-4m
