Landscape Solutions
Our service philosophy at Speciality Trees has always been to offer solutions.
Knowing the reason you are looking to buy a tree is extemely important. Is it to shade, screen, add a focal point to the garden? Is it required on the north side of the house; the south side? West or East? Is there structural elements near by? Paths or driveways? Will you sit under it or have the kids swing off of it! Will it have space to grow? Are there cables or power lines nearby?... Every snippet of information is necessary before you make that wonderful investment in a tree.
Ideally the most intelligent approach is to talk to a nursery professional, take the time to view their stock and understand what they do in the production area to achieve the end result. Like the tree purchase itself, it is an investment in time and money both for you and the horticulturist growing the tree.
Visit the nursery and don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions as the tree purchase is important. And if the nursery is a reputable one like ours, be prepared to be both impressed by the responses and enlightened by the experience.
We invite you to visit the Nursery and meet the Speciality Trees Team!
Part of the 'Speciality' experience lies in the friendly and approachable nature of our team. We pride ourselves on our stock, our processes and on our open and honest dealings with customers. We are always happy to tour people through the nursery - which is afterall, our daytime home! To read more about us, please click here.

Angophora costata
Smoothbarked Apple Myrtle, Rusty Gum
Under the category of commanding shade, this large evergreen tree with dense foliage and broad domed crown is loved for its smooth bark, and large twisted limbs. Its bark is shed in large flakes in spring when the older pale grey bark makes way for new bark which is salmon-pink in colour. At this time, young foliage appears across the tree giving it a deep burgundy red tinge, gradually fading to green. Foliage is curved, and waxy, providing excellent contrast to the bark. This tree provides transient colour interest as well as shade – a beautifully rare combination. More info...
Corymbia ficifolia 'Fairy Floss'
Under the category of bold flowering this is another beautiful grafted gum. 'Fairy Floss' grows 4-8 metres tall and is perfect for small gardens, parks and streetscapes. We offer these in 50L containers. Be sure to contact us soon as these will definitely go quickly. More info...
