- Acer palmatum ‘Scolopendrifolium’ is an elegant deciduous tree originating from Japan. With a strong upright, bushy habit, it creates a graceful presence in the garden. Its long, narrow leaves are bright green, often tipped with soft salmon tones, adding subtle seasonal interest. As autumn arrives, the foliage transforms into striking shades of apricot, orange, and yellow. These vibrant colours provide a stunning display, ensuring the tree becomes a focal point in smaller gardens and courtyards. This maple thrives in moist, well-drained soil and grows happily in sun or semi-shade. However, it benefits from shelter from wind, which helps prevent leaf scorch and keeps the foliage looking fresh throughout the seasons. Reaching approximately 5m high and 3m wide, it makes an ideal light shade tree. With its compact size, it suits modern landscapes and provides a delicate canopy for outdoor spaces. Interestingly, the epithet Scolopendrifolium was chosen by botanists to describe its deeply cut, finger-like leaves. Resembling small insect legs, these unique shapes give the tree its distinctive character and enduring charm.
- Acer palmatum ‘Shaina’ is a deciduous dwarf maple with a rounded crown and dense, compact growth. Its neat form makes it a striking feature in any garden, while its foliage provides seasonal interest throughout the year. During summer, the leaves display a rich maroon shade. As autumn arrives, they transform into fiery red tones, creating a dramatic display of colour that enhances smaller landscapes and adds warmth to courtyards and patios. ‘Shaina’ thrives in moist, well-drained soil and prefers a sheltered position, away from harsh sun and wind. This ensures healthy growth and protects its delicate foliage from scorch, keeping the tree vibrant and attractive. Originating in the United States, ‘Shaina’ is a mutation of the popular ‘Bloodgood’ cultivar. Its compact size and ease of care make it an excellent choice for smaller gardens, courtyards, or large decorative pots. Growing to approximately 2m high and wide, it is easily trained to shape. With minimal effort, you can maintain its form, making it a versatile and rewarding ornamental tree for modern outdoor spaces.
- Pittosporum pimeleoides is a rare, native evergreen shrub of New Zealand and is considered nationally endangered. With its much-branched, low-growing form, it features very tiny, narrow, often whorled leaves. This distinctive shrub produces fragrant, red-striped yellow flowers, followed by capsules containing black, sticky seeds in bright orange pith. Endemic to the northern North Island, it naturally thrives in coastal shrubland and is often associated with kauri forest habitats. Growing to around 80-1.0m metres tall, Pittosporum pimeleoides prefers well-drained soil as it struggles in heavy, wet clay. However, it adapts well to both high-light and shaded conditions. Its rarity and winter fragrance makes it a perfect talking point in any garden but is well suited for smaller gardens or pots.
- Thuja Green Giant is a resilient, fast-growing evergreen conifer admired for its dense, dark green foliage and upright pyramidal form. Propagated from cuttings, it maintains a uniform habit, remains disease-free, making it ideal for consistent planting. Because of its vigour, Thuja Green Giant is widely used for privacy screens and hedges. Moreover, it serves as a successful shelter belt worldwide. Originating in Denmark, this hybrid combines parent species from North America and Japan. In addition, it tolerates a wide range of soils, from sandy to clay, although it dislikes standing water. It also withstands windy sites and thrives best in full sun. For hedging or shelter, plant approximately 1.5–2.0 meters apart. At maturity, Thuja Green Giant reaches around 12 meters tall and 4 meters wide, creating an impressive and lasting landscape feature.
- Viburnum odoratissimum ‘Dense Fence’ is an evergreen shrub bred to create fast-growing, dense hedges. As a result, it provides excellent screening and privacy in gardens or landscapes.

- Cercis canadensis 'Hearts of Gold' is a small, deciduous tree with an open, spreading habit that gradually matures into a broad, rounded crown. In early spring, masses of small magenta, pea-like flowers burst into bloom on bare branches, creating a striking display before the foliage emerges. Soon after flowering, golden yellow, heart-shaped leaves appear, adding light and colour to the garden. As autumn approaches, these leaves transition into warm tones of orange and bronze, offering a final flourish before winter. Because of its compact size reaching approximately 3.5 x 3.0 metres, ‘Hearts of Gold’ is an excellent feature tree for smaller gardens or courtyards. It responds well to pruning, making it easy to maintain a tidy shape. Additionally, it tolerates clay soils, although wet or poorly drained conditions should be avoided. For best results, plant in a more sheltered position to protect its delicate foliage. Interestingly, The 'Hearts of Gold' redbud was discovered in 2002 by Jon Roethling in a private garden in Greensboro, North Carolina, United States. It was then propagated and introduced to the market by Hidden Hollow Nursery in Tennessee.

In early spring, large silver grey catkins with bright yellow anthers appear before the foliage. This charming cultivar entered commercial production in 1853, introduced by Thomas Lang of Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, Scotland. Since then, it has remained a popular choice for gardeners. Kilmarnock willow thrives in moist to wet, sunny locations. Because it is hardy and adaptable, it suits small gardens, containers, and areas with poor drainage. The final height depends entirely on the graft point, as all growth weeps downward from that position.

They typically grow to around 40 x 12metres yet can exceed 60 metres in ideal environments. Once established, they often grow more than a metre per year, making them an impressive choice for large properties, estates, parks, and reserves
- Ginkgo biloba ‘Jade Butterflies’ is a compact, deciduous dwarf male cultivar from the Ginkgo family. It forms an upright, vase-shaped structure and grows slowly. Its deeply bi‑lobed, jade‑green leaves resemble butterflies, which inspired its name. In autumn, the foliage transforms into a soft cream‑yellow display. This variety prefers fertile, moist soil; however, it also tolerates compacted, poor, or urban soils though will not tolerate wet soils. It thrives in full sun, which enhances its vibrant yellow autumn colour. Additionally, it withstands coastal salt spray and pollution, making it ideal for urban, seaside, and exposed locations. Mature plants reach approximately 3 x 2 metres. Its compact size suits small gardens, courtyards, or container planting. It requires minimal pruning, though shaping in late winter or early spring works well. The term biloba refers to the two-lobed leaves. Although Ginkgo trees are native to China, ‘Jade Butterflies’ was developed in New Plymouth, New Zealand.

This variety prefers fertile, well draining soil rich in organic matter. However, it does not tolerate heavy clay or waterlogged conditions. Because it is a heavy feeder, it benefits from regular citrus fertiliser during spring and summer. Tangor Ugli suits sheltered courtyards, smaller gardens, and even large containers. With the right care, it rewards growers with abundant crops and standout flavour, making it one of the most enjoyable citrus varieties to cultivate.
- Murraya paniculata, commonly known as Orange Jessamine, is a small tropical evergreen tree or shrub with glossy, dark green pinnate leaves.
