Ornamental Evergreen Trees
Ficus Hillii – Versatile Evergreen Tree for NZ Landscapes
Ficus Hillii, commonly referred to as Hill's Weeping Fig, is a popular evergreen tree in New Zealand, prized for its dense, glossy foliage and adaptability. Growing up to 12 meters tall and 5 meters wide, it serves as an excellent choice for hedging, screening, avenue planting, or as a standalone specimen. Its upright, narrow habit and tolerance to pruning make it suitable for various landscape designs, including formal gardens and modern outdoor spaces.
Azalea indica
This variety of Azalea grown for its lovely form and profuse flowering. This hardy, evergreen shrub produces masses of small and showy, lightly scented, single, rose-pink blooms from winter until late spring. These are held abreast of the glossy, dark green foliage. It typically grows to 1.5 m tall and the same wide, performing best when planted in a semi-shade or full sun position on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of frost and cool climates but does require good soil moisture levels during dry periods and should be protected from heavy frost while establishing. When fertilising, avoid using lime as this will stunt or even kill plants. This is a great choice for container growing, adding to a mixed planting, using in borders, planting around the base of larger trees, or planting anywhere a stunning plant is required. Cluster planting is very trendy and gives a highly colourful display.
