The Semi-Dwarf Granny Smith Apple produces a medium to large round fruit with a tart-tangy flavour, bright green skin and crisp white flesh. Depending on your tastes, it is arguably one of the best apples for eating, and a good cooking apple because of its ability to retain flavour. The tree is a visual treat with a profusion of pink-white flowers in mid-spring. The blossoms are draped in clusters along the branches and are a magical sight to behold. As a bonus to the sumptuous display, the flowers attract bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. Granny Smith requires another apple variety close by for pollination. Suitable pollinators include Red Delicious, Gala and Pink Lady.

Banksia grandis, also known as Bull Banksia, is an iconic Western Australian shrub renowned for its spectacular yellow flower heads and large, toothed foliage. Standing tall as a small tree or large shrub, it serves as a striking feature in any garden, particularly suited for coastal areas. With a height range from 5 to 10 metres, some specimens can even reach up to 15 metres under optimal conditions.  Although it is slow to flower, the wait is well worth it for the stunning foliage. It is phosphorus sensitive, thus benefiting from a good native fertiliser during feeding time.

Soil: Adaptable to most soil types.
Conditions: Prefers full sun to partial shade. Drought, light frost and coastal tolerant.
Size: Height 8m x width 5m

Like most callistemons, its nectar-rich blooms are highly attractive to birds, bees and butterflies, bringing movement and life to any landscape.

Soil: Well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun to semi-shade. Frost, drought and coastal tolerant.

This variety boasts bright red skin on sun-exposed areas, contrasting beautifully with a yellow-green background.

Maturing early to mid-season, the Gala Dwarf apple offers a reliable and bountiful harvest, perfect for those looking to enjoy homegrown apples without the need for a large space.
