- Gleditsia tricanthos ‘Ruby Lace’, also known as Honey Locust, is a graceful deciduous tree. It forms a small, round-headed canopy with elegantly spreading, arching branches that add charm to any garden. In summer, finely divided foliage emerges in a striking purple-red. As the season shifts, the leaves intensify to bronze-red before falling in autumn, creating vibrant seasonal colour. Originating from the United States, ‘Ruby Lace’ adapts well to diverse soil conditions. It tolerates compacted, clay, poor-quality, and drought-prone soils, making it highly resilient. Moreover, this tree withstands heat, salt, and harsh urban environments. As an added benefit, it fixes nitrogen, which improves soil health and supports long-term growth. With its umbrella-shaped crown, ‘Ruby Lace’ makes an excellent shade tree for smaller gardens. Growing to approximately 5m tall and 4m wide, it offers beauty and practicality in compact spaces.
- Gleditsia triacanthos ‘Sunburst’ – Honey Locust is a deciduous tree with a neatly rounded crown and graceful weeping branches. Its lacy, double-pinnate foliage emerges lime-yellow in spring, deepens to fresh green in summer, and finally glows bright yellow in autumn, offering year-round interest. Successive flushes of new growth appear through summer, creating a striking contrast against older leaves. Native to North America, ‘Sunburst’ has become a popular choice for both residential and landscape plantings. This tree tolerates a wide range of soils, including clay, yet it thrives best in moist, well-drained conditions. For optimal growth, plant in full sun. Mature specimens typically reach around 6 metres high and 5 metres wide, making them excellent lawn, shade, or specimen trees.
- Gordonia axillaris – Fried Egg Tree is a compact evergreen tree with dark, glossy green foliage. Native to China, Vietnam, and Taiwan, it grows slowly, making it ideal for smaller gardens where space is limited. From April to September, large single white flowers appear, ruffled at the edges with bright yellow stamens in the centre. These blooms resemble fried eggs and are also similar to some camellia flowers, creating a striking seasonal display. This tree prefers slightly acidic, moist, well-drained soil and thrives in full sun to part shade. Moreover, it is easy to maintain, allowing you to shape and control its height with minimal effort. Growing to approximately 4 x 3 metres, Gordonia axillaris makes a charming shade tree and a beautiful feature for smaller landscapes.
- A bold and fast-growing native of New Zealand, Griselinia littoralis 'Broadway Mint' or Kapuka, is a robust shrub or small tree—an impressive variety of littoralis. Its light mint-green leaves are glossy with a wavy edge that adds texture and strength to any landscape. Moreover, this versatile plant is easily clipped into a tidy smaller garden hedge or, if preferred, allowed to grow into a larger, structured screen. Not only does it thrive in coastal conditions, but it also stands up well to strong winds and frosts—making it a reliable choice for exposed sites. For best results, ensure good drainage. Ultimately, it reaches approximately 3.0 x 3.0 meters in size, offering both presence and practicality. Interestingly, the Latin word littoralis translates to “growing by the sea,” a fitting nod to its coastal resilience.
- Griselinia lucida, also known as Akapuka, is a robust New Zealand native. Whether grown as a shrub or shaped into a small, rounded tree, it features thick, glossy lime-green foliage with a bold, tropical feel. Thanks to its compact form, it’s easily trimmed into a neat hedge or left to fill out as a natural screen. Whether facing wind or salt spray, this plant stands strong. It thrives in both full sun and shaded areas, making it a reliable option for coastal gardens or sheltered urban spaces. However, for best results, ensure good drainage. Reaching around 3 metres tall by 2 metres wide, it’s perfect for compact areas needing bold structure and lush greenery.
- Hibiscus syriacus ‘Diana’ is celebrated for its abundant blooms and long flowering season. This award-winning deciduous shrub is compact, making it perfect for smaller gardens or urban spaces. Its pure white, saucer-shaped flowers can reach up to 12 cm wide. With slightly wavy petals, they offer a soft elegance that stands out against green foliage. Unlike most hibiscus varieties, ‘Diana’ blooms stay open through the night. This ensures continuous beauty from mid-summer until the first frost. Each flower lasts about a day, while the foliage shifts from lush green to golden-yellow in autumn, adding seasonal interest. It thrives in full sun and prefers moist, well-drained soil. For best results, plant in a sheltered position to protect from harsh winds. ‘Diana’ is easily trimmed to shape and makes an excellent potted plant. It grows to approximately 1.5 meters tall and 1.2 meters wide.
- Hoheria populnea, known as Lacebark, is a compact evergreen tree native to New Zealand. Its slender branches carry fresh, light green leaves that are semi-glossy, veined, and sharply toothed, giving it a delicate yet vibrant appearance. From late summer into autumn, the tree bursts into bloom with masses of starry, snow-white flowers. These striking blossoms often conceal the foliage, creating a dazzling seasonal display. The name “lacebark” refers to its fibrous inner bark, which resembles fine lace. This net-like material can be torn into ribbons and was traditionally used by Māori and Pākehā for weaving hats, capes, and baskets. Thriving in full sun, it prefers moist, well-drained soil that doesn’t dry out too much. With its graceful form and cultural significance, it makes an ideal shade tree for smaller gardens. Expect it to grow to approximately 5 metres tall and 3 metres wide.
- Howea forsteriana, commonly known as the Kentia Palm, is an elegant, arching palm with shiny green fronds. Because of their feather-like appearance, these fronds create a graceful silhouette, making this palm one of the most popular choices for both indoor and outdoor settings. As the fronds naturally shed, the slender trunk becomes beautifully ringed. Over time, this adds visual texture and enhances its tropical appeal. Native to Lord Howe Island, it thrives in a range of climates between Australia and New Zealand. Thanks to its slow and steady growth, the Kentia Palm is perfect as a standout feature in tropical gardens. Moreover, it tolerates very low light, coastal exposure, and windy conditions, making it incredibly versatile. When young, it’s important to keep the palm moist and partly shaded. Eventually, it reaches around 5 metres in 10 years and can grow beyond 10 metres at full maturity, offering lasting impact with minimal fuss
- Hymenosporum flavum known as the Australian Frangipani, is a vigorous, evergreen tree with an upright habit and open form. Its long glossy green foliage provides year-round interest, while the tree’s elegant structure makes it a standout feature in any garden. During spring and early summer, it bursts into clusters of creamy yellow flowers. These blooms release a delightful fragrance, attracting bees, butterflies, and nectar-loving birds, which in turn bring vibrant life and movement to your outdoor space. Native to Australia, this tree thrives in moist, well-drained soil and full sun. However, it benefits from being planted in a sheltered position, away from strong winds, ensuring healthy growth and long-lasting beauty. Reaching approximately 10m high and 4m wide, it suits both spacious and smaller gardens. With regular trimming, you can easily maintain a compact shape and control its height, making it a versatile choice for modern landscapes.
- Ilex ‘Largo’ Holly is a slower-growing, upright shrub with dense, bushy form. Its dark green oval leaves, developed in New Zealand, stand out because they have smooth edges, unlike the classic Holly. Moreover, this versatile shrub thrives in moist, well-drained soil and grows happily in full sun or partial shade. It performs beautifully as a border or hedge, and thanks to its compact size, it fits perfectly into smaller gardens. In addition, Ilex ‘Largo’ adapts well to coastal environments and can be shaped into elegant topiary. At maturity, it reaches approximately 3.5m high and 2.5m wide, making it both practical and decorative.
- Jacaranda mimosafolia - Jacaranda is a bold, fast-growing tree with a rugged, irregular crown and dynamic branches reaching outward, the Jacaranda instantly commands attention in any landscape. Although it is deciduous in all but the warmest climates, it still offers year-round visual interest thanks to its fine, feathery green foliage. As early summer arrives, its canopy transforms into a striking display, when soft purple blooms blanket the tree in breath taking colour. Not only does it provide beauty, but it also makes an excellent dappled shade tree. Native to south-central South America, this sub-tropical species thrives in sunny locations with moist, well-drained soil but will tolerate dryer once established. Typically, it grows to around 7 meters tall and 5 meters wide, making it a standout feature in gardens or larger landscapes.
