Mountain Ash<br />
Snow In Summer<br />
<strong>Me</strong>laleuca linariifolia<br />
A once popular evergreen<br />
garden or street tree growing<br />
to a height of 8m.<br />
The leaves are glossy green and<br />
the bark is light grey in colour.<br />
The tree produces abundant<br />
creamy white flowers followed<br />
by masses of winged seeds<br />
that germinate readily.<br />
HOW IT SPREADS<br />
The abundant seeds are spread by wind and water.<br />
These seeds have a high rate of germination and the tree<br />
quickly colonises native bushland<br />

Fraxinus griffithii<br />
A medium growing Australian<br />
native tree often reaches 10m in<br />
height.<br />
Prefers a site with good moisture<br />
and makes a very effective screen.<br />
The highlight is when the plant<br />
comes into flower late spring to<br />
summer.<br />
It is covered in masses of white<br />
fluffy flowers in cylindrical spikes.<br />
This tree makes a truly spectacular<br />
addition to any garden.
