Browse Forums Landscape & Garden Design 1 Sep 14, 2009 5:56 pm I've noticed these in garden centres and like their good looks and seemingly low maintainance? Also I've noticed them being used for corporate landscapes including my local McDonalds and outside the Westpac bank's garden beds.

It creates a great tall screening hedge but doesn't drop fruit like lily pilly. The flowers smell divine. 2 10193 Hmmm, I have checked your past posts and it seems that you are in NSW, not WA as I had thought. It pays to show your State in your avatar.
