I was drawn to Australia 22 years ago by the people, the lifestyle and, of course, the plant life. Australian natives are so unique and they make a real impact in the landscape, whether you’re planting an Australian native garden or one with a combination of exotic plants too. Over the years I’ve planted and grown a myriad of Aussie native plants with my standouts being:
TRISTANIOPSIS LAURINA
Tristaniopsis laurina ‘Luscious’, otherwise known as the water gum. This architectural variety of tree has a conical shape, white trunk and black stems topped with a glossy green leaf and yellow flowers that bees love. It’s highly adaptable to different soil types and can be used in native or exotic plantscapes to give vertical interest.
