Native Hedging and Screening | The backbone to landscapes

Hedging or screening almost forms the backbone of every landscape. As liveable structures, they are unsung heroes being both practical and hard-working. Using indigenous selections native to the area and climate is the key, as they are adaptable performers. Read for our recommendations.

	Waterhousea floribunda 'ST1' Whisper (syn. Syzygium) Whisper Weeping Lilly Pilly Tree Unique to Speciality Trees and our best-selling and most popular tree! This is a versatile, bushy tree with a wonderful weeping habit making it perfect for large screening projects and the softening of fence lines. Propagated from Victorian mother-stock, unlike other Waterhousea, so responds better to all weather conditions, including cooler climates. New growth starts off pink and orange with leaves turning to various shades of green as the foliage matures. Foliage is maintained to the base of the plant giving a year-round lush, full appearance. It forms a small quantity of creamy-white flowers in summer. Berry production on 'Whisper' is unlike other Lilly Pillies, with minimal quantities of small green berries that, whilst bird attracting, these fruits are tucked in amongst the foliage and are not obvious.
	Syzygium australe 'Hinterland Gold' Hinterland Gold Lilly PIlly Tree A native shrub with a dense habit. This is a fast-growing variety well suited to hedging and screens. Compact glossy green foliage develops a lovely coppery hue in the new growth. During the warmer months, white fluffy blossom are borne, followed by fleshy red berries.
	Acacia cognata 'Burgundy Cascade' Burgundy Cascade Weeping Wattle Tree A stunning shrub or small tree with cascading foliage. This Australian native has thin smooth green leaves with a burgundy edge that gives it an interesting range of colour throughout the year. The flowers are small, ball shaped, pale yellow and speckled throughout the foliage.
	Acacia cognata 'Copper Tips' Copper Tips Weeping Wattle Tree This is a beautiful small tree growing to 5m tall with dark green pendulous foliage and lovely copper-coloured tips, hence its name. Small, pale yellow tea-tree like flowers cover the ends of branches in Spring.
	Callistemon viminalis 'CV01' Slim™ Slim Bottlebrush Tree This is a narrow growing Bottlebrush great for tight planting spots. It provides all the usual colour and texture qualities of Callistemon, flowering from spring to autumn but with the benefit of being able to use to as a compact alternative in positions that are narrower. Flowers are red and numerous over the warmer months. Of course it can also be used as a screen or hedge to attract birds, bees and butterflies into the garden.
	Acmena (syn. Syzygium) smithii 'DOW30' Sublime ™ Sublime Creek Lilly Pilly Tree This is a lovely hardy foliage-feature tree with refreshing lime new growth and dense foliage to the ground. A great option for hedging or screening to around 5m tall. In summer, some white fluffy flowers appear, berry production is unlike other Lilly Pillies, with minimal quantities of small edible deep to light mauve berries that don't stain surfaces if left or crushed.
	Banksia integrifolia 'Sentinel' 'Sentinel' Banksia Tree This is a small shrub with medium frost tolerance for use as a dense narrow flowering screen. Preferring full sun to light shade it produces upright lemon brush-like flowers from late summer to winter. Responds well to pruning.
	Syzygium australe 'SAN01' Straight and Narrow ™ Straight and Narrow Lilly Pilly Tree This Lilly Pilly is a better form than the narrow growing 'Pinnacle' due to its dense foliage and naturally columnar form. Foliage is a mid-green colour and fruits are reddish-pink. As the name suggests it is a great selection for narrow spaces.
