I border a reserve on a creek so planting the Plums to have a hedging instead of a fence and the Lomandras fill the gaps. So far so good. Keeping them moist continually in the tubes before planting has helped.

I don't know much about this tree, but I believe it will grow well in this area, and it's a native, so what's not to like. And the fruit looks good too.
