Advanced Feature Trees at the Height of their Beauty

With over 320 lines in production across three sites, we are in a great position to see first-hand the seasonal change experienced, as our trees mature from junior material into the larger, semi-advanced and advanced specimens we are known for in the marketplace.

We also take great delight in seeing fresh interest in different lines, both new and old species, as too often designs get restricted to a small palette based on current trends. We encourage buyers to look at the beauty of the tree, its leaf shape, density and flowering capabilities and explore selections that bring uniqueness to the landscape design. Enter the feature tree!

Acer palmatum ’Sango Kaku’

Winter wonder |Acer palmatum ’Sango Kaku’ is a Japanese Maple highly distinguishable by its striking red branch colour, particularly on new wood in winter when landscapes can be bleak.  Beautiful green double serrated leaves in summer which turn yellow and orange in autumn makes this a pretty special tree. Others: ‘Black Tulip’ deciduous Magnolia, Crepe Myrtle & ‘Moss White’ Birch.

Luscious® Tristaniopsis

Spring time delight | Luscious® Tristaniopsis is an Aussie native with large, dark green, shiny foliage that starts out a distinctive copper colour in spring. Over time branches develop deep purple coloured bark and sweetly perfumed yellow flowers in summer. Others:  Golden Rain Tree, Irish Strawberry tree and Liriodendron.

Evergreen Magnolia ‘Coolwyn Gloss’

Summer stand-out | Evergreen Magnolia ‘Coolwyn Gloss’ offers the biggest, glossiest leaf of all evergreen Magnolia, as well as stunning, large, white fragrant flowers periodically between November and March. It excels as an upright, flowering, evergreen feature tree to 10m tall. Others: Grafted flowering Gum, Jacaranda and Native Frangipani.

Corymbia maculata ‘ST1 Lowanna’

Yearly all-rounder | Corymbia maculata ‘ST1 Lowanna’ is a special grafted selection grown for improved density of foliage and compact height. It has the distinctive cream and grey spotted trunk, but its form is greatly improved for urban applications. Flowers are white, small and insignificant. Grow this tree for tight branch structure and magnificent bark after 4-5 years of growth.  Others: Angophora costata, and Lophostemon confertus.

Cercis ‘Forest Pansy

Colour me up | It’s hard to go past a number of deciduous trees for amazing autumn foliage colour: Cercis ‘Forest Pansy’, Ash, Japanese Maple, or Chinese Pistacio.  For a native alternative, try Allocasuarina torulosa. When temperatures cool, the foliage on this tree gets a little reddish, and dew on pendulous foliage, is strikingly beautiful.
