This Rosemary was bred in Salem, North Carolina for a better tolerance of humidity than other Rosemary types. It also is relatively compact 90cm x 60cm and responds well to clipping to shape. 'Salem' is a good oil producer and has rich blue flowers. Prefers well drained soils but is more forgiving of wetter soils than most Rosemary varieties. 'Salem' has a strong upright form lending itself to hedging and more formal applications.

On a quick trip to Cape Town in 2017 we first noticed this compact, dwarf Natal Plum growing in several public landscape installations. Firstly, it was used to grow as a dense ground cover and secondly, it was grown as a low hedge. Carissa macrocarpa 'Green Carpet' has glossy emerald-green leaves and can be used across a range of landscapes from formal clipped gardens, to a spillover plant in coastal plantings. Tolerant of coastal conditions, poor soils and drought once established. A more robust looking plant will be achieved with regular irrigation. Fragrant white star-like flowers in Spring. Edible bright red fruit follow in Summer. Tolerant of mild frosts only. 30cm high x 150cm wide.

Often referred to as Silverberry. We have found that in our searing heat during Summer (45℃ +) many plants struggle. Elaeagnus pungens is not one of them. We have pruned our plants into 1m x 1m spheres and in another area as a 1m x 0.5m hedge. The golden bronze new growth has a stunning effect, particularly when plants have been shaped. Very tough and hardy (-5℃ to 45℃) with no supplementary watering. Produces edible berries in Autumn and Winter which contain Omega 3 and Lycopene (reputedly a cancer fighting agent). Elaeagnus harbours nitrogen fixing organisms so is able to grow in poor soils.

For years we have marvelled at tightly clipped 'Pineapple Guava' hedges. The concept that a hedge can provide screening and protection and fruit is very appealing. Four years ago we decided to plant our own Feijoa hedge. It has proven to be not only all of the above but attractive as well. Dark green upper leaf surface and silvery lower surface has the hedges appearance changing with the breeze. The flowers are red and typically myrtle like and the fruit olive green with a pleasing fruit salad flavour. Fruit can be used to make ice cream, jam, smoothies or fresh. Tolerant of drought and frost. If left unpruned Feijoa will reach a height of 4m x 4m wide. Due to biosecurity reasons we can't send this plant to South Australia.
