Plant Guide

What to use me for: I'm a versatile sculptured hedging and screening plant. My form is slender, semi-compact and dense. I am suitable for tall privacy screening or hedging, native gardens, coastal regions, topiary and feature or street trees.

I grow to: I'll reach up to 8 metres tall and 2 metres wide, providing a tight and slender design. Perfect for screen, hedge at constricted planting areas such as fences lines and driveways.  

Features: I produce an attractive tight green leaf with bronze-tipped flushes in new growth with white flower that proceeds with berry. Native flora and fauna love me. I can be pruned regularly to maintain the desired height (>2m tall) and shape. Prune after flowering for dense growth the following season. Natural Psyllid resistance.

The right screening plant depends on the space, width available, desired height and the overall look you want to create. We can help you choose the best option for privacy, structure and long-term performance in Brisbane conditions.

Plant Care

Where to place me: Full sun or part shade is ideal for me, I can thrive in a range of environments.

How far to space me: For tight hedging, plant me every 1-metre to ensure a cohesive and uniform look.

Soil Conditions: I can tolerate most soil types if planted in well-drained soil. I don't like constantly wet feet, so be sure to use a thick layer of chunky mulch and water me well until I'm established to help me grow strong and healthy.

Extra-Care: I have low-water needs once established. I like a long soak during extended heat periods. I like to be pruned and shaped for a tight and dense form. Prune twice yearly for a tidy hedge or every few years for a wider screen. I prefer a slow release fertiliser formulated for Australian Natives (as per manufacturers instructions) in Spring.
