The deciduous Forest Pansy is an elegant and spectacularly colourful small tree attracting birds, butterflies and bees to the garden. It has bold heart-shaped leaves that open up in spring to a brilliant, eye-catching reddish-purple shade with a velvety-satin appearance. The foliage deepens to purple-black and fades to purple-green in summer. In autumn, Forest Pansy showcases leaves of brilliant yellow to orange. The branches have a distinctive, smooth dark brown wood that provides a contrast with the blossom-like pink flowers that are borne before the re-emergence of reddish-purple leaves in spring. Forest Pansy is a stunning feature tree for small gardens or courtyards.

Kaffir Lime Tree is an easy citrus fruit tree to grow and it is the leaves - not the fruit - that is highly valued. Kaffir lime trees are much loved for their aromatic leaves, which are fantastic for imparting that authentic Asian flavour to curries, soups and stir fries. The fruits - which do not hold a lot of juice - are visually interesting with green, bumpy skin and the zest packs a punch! Once established these trees require little care or pruning other than to keep in shape or maintain a smaller size.

Soil: Well-drained soil
Conditions: Full sun. Thrives in tropical and subtropical areas. Coastal tolerant.
Size: Height 4m x width 2m

The Acca Feijoa, or Pineapple Guava, is a dense, bushy evergreen shrub or small tree valued for both its ornamental appeal and delicious fruit. It produces small, oval, olive-green fruit in autumn and early winter with a sweet, aromatic flavour often described as a blend of pineapple, apple, and mint. Fruit is best picked when the skin turns a lighter shade of green and then left to ripen at room temperature to avoid bruising. The plant itself is highly attractive, with leathery green leaves that feature distinctive silvery undersides. In spring it produces beautiful pink-white flowers with striking large red stamens, adding ornamental interest to the garden. Allo Feijoa is very versatile in the landscape and can be grown as a single-trunked small tree, trained as an espalier along wires, or clipped into a hedge or rounded shrub.

Soil: Plant in well-drained soil, mulch and fertilise when planting.
Conditions: Feijoas prefer a sunny location sheltered from strong wind. This fruit tree will tolerate frost once established. Suitable for cold, temperate and sub-tropical climates.
