Pine Nut (Pinus pinea)


In Stock: 6
Pine nuts are a very ornamental, edible tree, growing 10-15m tall. They bear edible pine nuts, which are great in salads, pesto, baking, as a snack, and many other dishes. We particularly like pine nuts in pasta, with roasted pumpkin, sundried tomatoes and feta cheese.
The Pine Nut tree grows best in cooler areas, in a dryish spot. They will not perform in permanently wet soil. Pine nuts can be produced as early as 4 years of age, but generally around 6 years. For more info click on 'product details' or title.

Travellers Palm (Ravenala madagascariensis) l


In Stock: 20
One of our favourites! A beautiful tree from the Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia) family which produces big banana-like foliage. Foliage arranges itself in a fan-shaped form. Though technically not a palm tree, it is often called one because of the short palm-like trunk & foliage. It grows 7-15m tall. The Travellers Palm produces white flowers, followed by brown fruits. Seeds are a wonderful blue colour. It derives its name ‘Travellers Palm’ from the fact that it collects and holds rainwater in its leaf folds and flower bracts. Thirsty travellers knew to seek out this tree to collect water. Ravenala madagascariensis is a stunning tropical plant and would act well as a feature plant, or as back drop for other tropical plants. It is often used to line driveways and property entries, for which the fan shape lends itself very well.

White/Giant Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia nicolai)


In Stock: 9
Another favourite! Incredibly fast growing in the right position, perfect for a quick screen! Beautiful plant from Natal, South Africa. Tall, striking foliage plant growing up to 12m high and 4m wide. It is evergreen, with multiple stems that form a dense clump. Very hardy with large dramatic leaves for a true tropical effect. Huge flowers resemble birds’ heads and can be used in floral arrangements. Flowers appear within a year in the right conditions. Excellent indoor and potted plant, even in exposed positions, but provide some shelter from strong winds. Flowers are eye-catching, white and blue. Easy care, mulch garden specimens, provide regular water, and slow release fertilizer in spring and summer.
