Their evergreen habit provides year-round structure, while their aromatic spring flowers are a delight to the senses. Use them as feature trees, elegant screens, informal hedges, or even in large containers. Because they grow in both sun and partial shade and tolerate light frost, Michelia trees are suitable for gardens throughout New Zealand.

Planting and Caring for Michelia Tree NZ

When planting your michelia tree nz, choose a position with good drainage and some shelter from strong winds. Michelia trees prefer rich, slightly acidic soils, so add compost when planting.
