Palm - Foxtail

$21.90 ($19.75-$29.00 choose a size)

First discovered in 1978 in a tiny area within Melville National Park, this palm is now one of the most widely planted in the world. Famous for it bushy fronds and slightly bulbous base, it lends a exotic, tropical look to landscaping. Able to survive heat, salt winds and seasonally dry conditions. Slow growing. If you ever have to remove them, the heart is also edible and quite palatable.

Maple - Box Elder

Lose leaves at early onset of winter, so allowing sun to reach ground, whereas many deciduous, especially the more coloured maples, lose leaves later so keeping you cold in winter.
