- Juniperus chinensis ‘Kaizuka’, also known as Hollywood Juniper, is a striking evergreen renowned for its sculptural form. Its branches spiral upward in a distinctly twisting motion, adorned with vivid bright green foliage that adds year-round interest. Thanks to its versatility, this variety can be left to grow naturally or trimmed into soft, rounded pillows—creating the illusion of floating clouds in the landscape. Moreover, it tolerates drought, wind, and coastal conditions, making it a resilient and adaptable choice. As a result, it serves as a unique focal point in any garden setting. With moderately fast growth and parentage rooted in China and Japan, it brings both elegance and heritage to outdoor spaces. Importantly, it requires good drainage to thrive.
- Knightia excelsa, commonly known as Rewarewa, is a striking evergreen native to New Zealand. It forms a slender, erect, and tapering tree with long, green serrated leaves that adds texture and structure to the landscape. In spring, it produces very unusual tubular reddish-brown flowers with yellow tips that are highly attractive to native birds, adding both ecological value and seasonal interest. Because of its upright habit, Rewarewa is ideal for smaller gardens and narrow spaces. Additionally, it is well-suited to coastal gardens. While it tolerates clay soils, overly wet conditions should be avoided. Likewise, phosphate-based fertilizers are not recommended. Typically, it grows to approximately 7 x 3 metres, making it a manageable yet elegant choice for urban and rural settings alike. Interestingly, the Latin name Excelsa refers to its tall, strong stature.

- Koelreuteria paniculata, known as the Golden Rain Tree, is a medium‑sized deciduous tree with a broad, spreading canopy. Its long pinnate leaves emerge pinkish in spring, mature to green in summer, and turn a brilliant yellow in autumn. In early summer, elongated panicles of golden‑yellow flowers appear, creating a magnificent display. With origins in China, Korea, and Japan, this tree is hardy once established, tolerating heat, drought, and urban conditions with ease. Highly adaptable, the Golden Rain Tree grows in clay, loam, or sandy soils. Moreover, it can thrive even in nutritionally poor soils, although it will not tolerate waterlogged ground. Compact yet striking, it grows to approximately 5m tall by 4m wide, making it a standout specimen for smaller gardens or feature plantings.
- Kunzea ericoides, commonly known as Kanuka, is a tall, fast-growing New Zealand native tree with a broad, spreading crown. Because of its vigorous growth, it’s widely recognised and valued in native landscapes. Although its tiny needle-like leaves resemble Manuka, they feel noticeably softer to the touch. During summer, small white flowers blanket the tree, creating an almost snow-like effect that’s highly attractive to bees. Compared to Manuka, Kanuka grows larger and produces smaller seeds. Once established, it withstands windy coastal conditions and thrives in dry soils. Furthermore, it tolerates clay, though overly wet areas should be avoided. Extremely hardy, Kanuka reaches approximately 6 x 4 metres. As a result, it’s used extensively as a cover tree to protect newly planted native revegetation, offering both shelter and ecological support.
- Lagerstroemia fauriei ‘Townhouse’, better known as Crepe Myrtle, is a compact deciduous tree with a rounded canopy. Its bark sheds naturally, revealing smooth, trunks and branches that add structure and character. Through summer, the foliage stays deep green before shifting to fiery oranges and yellows in autumn. With a moderate growth rate and clean form, this tree brings style to smaller outdoor spaces. Come summer, ‘Townhouse’ produces large, cone-shaped clusters of white flowers—striking against its dark foliage. While it can handle moderate winds, it performs best in a sheltered spot with moist, well-drained soil. Reaching around 4 metres tall and wide, it’s easy to shape and makes a beautiful specimen tree in a smaller garden layout. Whether you're designing a modern garden or adding structure to a mixed border, ‘Townhouse’ Crepe Myrtle stands out. Its compact size, seasonal colour, and tough nature make it a solid choice for anyone who values form, function, and impact.
- Lagerstroemia indica ‘De Puard’ – Crepe Myrtle is a delightful small deciduous tree with a compact, rounded form.

Furthermore, its smooth, mottled pinkish-gray bark provides striking year-round interest. This variety grows best in moist, well-drained soil and full sun, ensuring maximum flower production. In addition, it makes an elegant feature in a sheltered small garden. Reaching approximately 4 x 3 metres, it can also be easily trimmed to suit your preferred shape and size, giving both flexibility and charm

- Laurelia novae‑zealandiae – Pukatea is an evergreen native tree of New Zealand. It grows quickly, producing fresh green, oval, serrated foliage along shiny black branches. For many years, it maintains a columnar form before eventually developing into a large, round-headed specimen tree. Pukatea thrives in moist to wet, fertile soils. In fact, it excels in temperate to warm subtropical climates with high humidity and consistent rainfall. Its unique strength lies in its ability to grow in poorly drained, swampy areas where other trees often fail. Perfect for wetland areas. This tree is the perfect choice for challenging sites where others would not cope. In natural forest conditions, it can reach heights of up to 35 metres. However, in urban settings with compacted soils, it more commonly grows between 6 and 10 metres, making it suitable for gardens and landscapes.
- Laurus nobilis – Bay Laurel is a compact evergreen tree native to the Mediterranean region. Its dark green, leathery leaves are highly aromatic and widely valued for culinary use. In spring, small yellow flowers appear, followed by clusters of dark berries that add seasonal interest. Bay Laurel can be easily trimmed to shape, making it ideal as a screen or hedge. Moreover, it performs beautifully as a standard or ornamental tree, offering versatility in both formal and informal garden designs. This tree prefers moist, well-drained soil, yet it will tolerate drier conditions once established. In addition, it withstands coastal and windy aspects, making it a resilient choice for challenging sites. Mature specimens typically reach around 5 metres high and 3 metres wide. Interestingly, the name nobilis reflects its impressive quality and noble reputation.
