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.
