Syzygium Species
Lilly pillys are evergreen rainforest plants with attractive glossy green leaves. These native rainforest plants have gained enormous popularity in recent years as there are many species and cultivars on the market. They have flushes of colourful new growth, ranging from vibrant pink to a red-brown and are beautiful specimens in pots.
Lilly pillys are used in freestanding pots as a feature plant or focal point. Lilly Pillys can used in variety of ways, from larger tree specimens that can help create privacy, to pruned, hedged or topiary style trees that can visually enhance an outdoor space. Used in many short term hire events as screen trees or hedges.

Yucca elephantipes
Widely grown for their striking architectural appearance and tolerance to a range of conditions in many gardens and pots, these tough plants are native to Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.
With rosettes of leathery, evergreen, sword-shaped leaves and notable grey markings on the trunk, which look like elephant skin ( or noted for the thick, branching trunk which is reminiscent of an elephant’s foot at the base), these plants are a sure way to add a dramatic accent to any indoor or outdoor space.
Jade plant
Crassulas are succulent type plants that vary greatly in size, shape and colour. They are native to many parts of the globe, but common varieties we use in landscaping are native to South Africa. Crassulas have fleshy, shiny, plump, spoon shaped leaves (some varieties have twisted or curled leaves) that are usually short, stemless and are often closely spaced. Some leaves are even tinged in crimson, reflecting different weather conditions. They have tree-like woody branches that are thick and fleshy to hold the heavy leaves.
Dypsis lutescens
This clumping palm has numerous golden/green narrow stems that emerge from the base close together. The full-sized fronds arch gracefully out and downward. Palms can hold more of a greener colour (rather than golden) when grown inside.
Palms are an extremely versatile group of plants, mostly originating throughout the tropical regions of the world, they can easily add a decorative or architectural element to an indoor space. They can create a lush tropical look with their evergreen feathery foliage.
