PRICE  LIST:

Abelia grandiflora - (Glossy Abelia)

Grows in all reasonable locations and soils, forming a dense living wall within two years.  It is happy in full sun or semi-shade.   Soft lush tip growth is a pleasure to trim.  Makes a good hedge from 1 to 2 m high.   (Cutting Grown)

Approx. 10 year height - 2 metres.

Plant 30 to 45 cm apart.

Alnus cordata - Italian Alder - Deciduous.

Medium growth rate shelter or shade tree. Moisture loving, ideal for boggy places. Excellent in low branch retention and responds well to trimming if trimmed before December. Later trimming can reduce re-sprouting. Alders are not suitable for windward boundaries. They are most suited for internal shelter belts. A major advantage of Alders is that they fix atmospheric nitrogen and do not compete with crop for nutrients. A growth rate of 1 to 1.5 metres a year can be expected. Faster with irrigation.

Approx. 10 year height - 5 metres.

Plant 1 metre apart.

===============

Alnus glutinosa - Black Alder - Deciduous.

Similar to cordata, but will stand low to medium salt exposure and has an extra fortnight deciduous period. It will also stand later trimming and will re-shoot, if trimmed, as late as February.

 Approx. 10 year height 5 metres.

Plant 1 m apart.

===============

Agathis australis - N.Z. Kauri.

A slow to moderate growth rate. Native tree best known for its timber quality. It's wind hardiness makes it an ideal prospect as a shelter tree, or spaced wider, as a amenity or screen planting.

Approximate 10 year height 4 metres.

Plant 2 metres apart.

No shelter grade available this season.

(G.S.T incl..)

===============
