The narrow growth habit makes it ideal for use in space-restricted areas and along narrow median strips and driveways.

Soil: Moist, well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun. Tolerant of drought and light frosts.
Size: Height 10m x width 3m

Portuguese Laurel is a hardy evergreen shrub or small tree. The dense covering of dark glossy green leaves - lime green when new - provide an ideal backdrop for other plants in the garden. This species is particularly showy in spring when in full flower, with small white, beautifully perfumed flowers. After flowering, reddish-green cherry-like fruits appear, turning dark purple/black as they ripen in late summer or early autumn. With its compact form, Portuguese Laurel is a fantastic hedging/screening plant that can be kept clipped from one to four metres or left to grow into a small spreading tree. It is also great as a large standard. Be mindful that no humans or pets ingest the berries.

Soil: Moist, well-drained soil. Will thrive in poor, shallow, or chalky soil
Conditions: Extremely versatile. Tolerates exposed coastal gardens, forceful, salt-laden winds, and intense sunlight to alpine gardens with freezing winters. Copes with cold/frost to -15°c.
Size: Height 2- 9m x width 4.5m 

Pinus Christmas Tree is a grafted form of the Japanese Black Pine, prized for its naturally compact habit and striking evergreen foliage. Slow-growing and easy to maintain, it reaches approximately 1.5 metres tall and 1 metre wide within its first ten years, making it an excellent feature tree for smaller gardens, courtyards and large containers. The attractive spring candle growth can be selectively pruned to create an even denser, more sculptural form, making this variety particularly well suited to bonsai enthusiasts or Japanese-inspired landscapes. With its rugged character, year-round colour and graceful branching, Pinus Christmas Tree provides lasting structure and visual appeal, whether grown as a standalone specimen or incorporated into a thoughtfully designed garden.

Soil: Thrives in well-drained, sandy, or loamy soils. Good drainage is crucial for preventing root rot. 
Conditions: Prefers full sun but can tolerate some shade, especially in hotter climates. Known for adaptability to various climates, thriving in cool to mild temperatures, it tolerates salt spray, making it suitable for coastal landscapes. Drought tolerant.
Size: Height of 1.5m with a spread of 1 metre in the first ten years.

Mesembryanthemum Yellow flowers profusely and looks spectacular when planted en masse.
