The Navelina Orange dwarf tree is a highly regarded citrus variety, prized for its sweet flavour and virtually seedless fruit. Producing medium-sized oranges with a smooth, vibrant peel, it pairs beautifully with its glossy green foliage to create an attractive and productive feature in any garden. In spring, the tree is adorned with fragrant white blossoms that not only add visual appeal but also fill the air with a delicate citrus scent. This early-fruiting variety typically ripens from late autumn into early winter, bringing a burst of colour and freshness to the landscape when many other plants are slowing down. Its compact growth habit makes it an excellent choice for a range of garden styles, particularly Mediterranean-inspired spaces. It can be grown as a striking feature tree, trained neatly along a wall as an espalier, or planted in large pots for courtyards and balconies.

Soil: Well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun. Frost tender.
Size: Height 1.5-2.5m x width 2m

Known as Featherbush due to its fine feathery foliage, Aulax Bronze Haze is a beautifully compact shrub. Blooming during the spring and summer months, Aulax Bronze Haze displays yellow feathery flowers within the vibrant red and green foliage.

Pick off spent flowers to encourage denser re-growth.

Soil: Grow best in light gritty soil with good drainage. Ensure an Australian native potting mix and fertiliser is used if growing in pots, and select a pot with adequate drainage holes as these plants do not like to be waterlogged.
Conditions: Needs a full sun position to thrive. Coastal, light frost and drought tolerant once established.
