Super Screening Trees

Neighbours? What neighbours! Any of these screening selections will do the trick perfectly.

	Allocasuarina littoralis Black Sheoak Tree This is an erect conical shaped tree when mature which has dark fissured bark sometimes looking black at certain times of the year. This fast growing tree bears showy red flowers in spring. Is probably grown more for its long, thin foliage which works well as screens particularly where height is restricted.
	Allocasuarina torulosa Forest Sheoak Tree This is another tree with fine foliage similar to the needles of a pine tree. In winter foliage turns a beautiful copper colour. It is this year-round interest that makes for a wonderful screen.
	Banksia integrifolia Coastal Banksia Tree This distinctive native tree has rough patterned bark and long green leaves with a silver underside. Pale yellow flowers are a cylinder shape can be seen in summer through to winter.  Ornamental looking seed pods add to the distinctive look of this tree. Another good option for a structured screen in a native garden.
	Magnolia grandiflora 'Coolwyn Gloss' ™ Coolwyn's Magnolia (evergreen) This variety  grows to 10 metres tall making it ideal as a feature tree or informal screen if multiple specimens are planted in a row along a fenceline or boundary. It looks particularly stunning in a layered garden. It has an upright branching structure and glossy green leaves.
	Pyrus calleryana 'Winter Glow' Winter Glow Ornamental Pear This is a variation on Manchurian Pear, which is similar in both height and width that holds leaves well into late winter. In a temperate climate it can hold its leaves all the way through leading to a reputation as an evergreen pear. In Melbourne it is deciduous. Produces beautiful flame red foliage in autumn. It is a good option for screening where space permits.
	Tristaniopsis laurina 'DOW10' Luscious ® Luscious Kanooka Gum, Water Gum This is newer version of the straight Tristaniopsis laurina with larger and shinier dark green leaves and new growth that starts out a distinctive copper colour. Fragrant yellow flowers are produced in clusters across summer. Great for planting out along a fenceline.
	Waterhousea floribunda 'ST1' Whisper (syn. Syzygium) Whisper Weeping Lilly Pilly This is a versatile tree with a wonderful weeping habit making it perfect for large screening projects and the softening of ugly fence lines. Its leaves are various shades of green with new growth starting off pink before turning. It forms white flowers in summer which is followed by green fruits.
	Olea europaea 'Mission' Mission Olive Native to the Mediterranean, Olive trees are generally hardy trees with good tolerance to poor soils. This one is no exception. The Mission Olive grows between 4-9 m depending on conditions. Ours is grown as a single trunk specimen. The grey-green leaves are thick and leathery. Fruits start green, and turn black when they ripen.
	Prunus lusitanica Evergreen Prunus, Portuguese Laurel This is a very hardy evergreen shrub or small tree. Its dense habit lends itself well to hedging and screening and as it responds well to pruning, it is even ideal as a large standard. Bark is blackish-brown and the leaves are glossy, dark green and oval in shape, with new growth being lime green in colour. Small white flower heads decorate the tree in spring followed by cherry-like fruits which are green or reddish green at first, and turn dark purple or black as they ripen in late summer or early autumn.
