The Signature Tree Program
Trees benefit us in many ways and as a community we place great value on the aesthetics of our environment.
There is an enormous amount of work involved with urban landscape design and implementation, which is necessary for long term tree health as well as for public safety. It is therefore crucial that the right tree is chosen for any given urban situation. The challenge for the nursery professional to continually add variety to the pallet available for selection by designers, within our challenging environmental constraints.
Here is a rundown of the new varieties we are promoting for future use in streetscapes, parks and gardens. These lines are predominantly native and offer a fresh take on traditional mainstay with the benefit of increased performance. Some have intense flowering but all offer a 'plant anywhere' tolerance to a broad range of soil conditions and compact height for landscape versatility.
