- Dodonaea viscosa ‘Purpurea’ – Purple Akeake is a tough, upright native New Zealand tree with bold, glossy purple-red foliage that deepens in colour during the cooler months. In summer, it puts on a show with unusual light red to purple papery flower clusters that add a rugged splash of contrast. Over time, Purple Akeake spreads out, making it a good choice for privacy screening or adding colour into compact garden spaces. It handles a wide range of soil types, salt spray, wind, and drought once established—but thrives best in moist, well-drained soil. Trim regularly to maintain a dense, bushy form. The name viscosa refers to the sticky texture of its seeds. Grows to approximately 3.5m high x 2.0m wide.
- Fagus sylvatica 'Dawyck' is a tall, columnar deciduous tree with a distinctly upright habit and moderate growth rate. Over time, its narrow form broadens, adding architectural style to any landscape. In early spring, its vertical branches are cloaked in bright glossy green leaves. As the seasons shift, the foliage transforms into a warm cinnamon brown over autumn. Thanks to its slender profile, 'Dawyck' is ideal for planting where space is limited—whether beside pathways, framing entrances, or standing as bold vertical accents. With origins in Scotland, it brings both heritage and sophistication to gardens and urban settings alike. Typically reaching around 8.0m in height and 2.5m in width, this beech variety is a standout specimen for structured planting schemes or formal avenues.
- Fagus sylvatica ‘Riversii’ – Rivers Purple Beech is a striking, round-shaped deciduous tree. Its deep purple-red, almost black leaves have wavy margins and drop cleanly in winter, creating a bold seasonal display. Originally developed in England, this variety was introduced by Thomas Rivers’ nursery around 1860. It remains the darkest of the copper beeches, admired for its dramatic foliage and heritage value. The Riversii Beech thrives in moist, well-drained soil and full sun, which enhances its rich colour. It grows to approximately 10 x 5 metres, making it an excellent shade tree for parks, avenues, and spacious landscapes.
- Ficus binnendijkii ‘Amstel Queen’ – Narrow Leafed Fig, is a fast-growing evergreen tree with origins in North Africa.

This versatile fig can also be grown in containers, both indoors and outdoors. Indoors, it performs best in a warm, brightly lit room, away from direct sunlight. Whether planted in the garden or kept in a pot, it makes an outstanding shade tree. Typically, it grows to around 7 metres tall and 5 metres wide.
