Product Catalogue


Our most advanced trees are in a 160 litre bag, some species measuring up to six metres.  These trees are excellent for maximum impact.  They make ideal street trees, car park trees, shade, screen and shelter trees. These trees make any landscape or townscape look established.

In the last eight years we have put a lot of effort into producing large numbers of varieties in a 45 litre grade.  These trees are still an advanced tree and are in the 2.5 - 3.5 metre height range.  These trees are an excellent choice for anyone on a budget who still wants the established effect.

Our smallest grade of tree is the PB40 grade.  These trees are a fantastic option for the budget conscious.  All these trees are 1.5 - 2.5 metres.  They are a great option for the home gardener, they are easy to transport and plant and still give great visual pleasure. 

The price of the trees is not included in this catalogue as grades, sizes, and availablity are subject to change regularly.  However, all our prices include GST.  Please feel free to enquire about trade rates or quantity discount.



Dicksonia - NZ Tree Fern

Products

Wheki-ponga, Tree fern
The pleasing symmetrical appearance and the hardiness of this species makes it a favourite of the New Zealand tree ferns.
It is the slowest growing of the tree ferns. The fibrous trunk of Dicksonia fibrosa grows up to 60cm in diameter.
It is much slower growing, the fibrous truck is much thicker and the fronds are much lighter than Dicksonia squarrosa.
The mature fronds are 2 metres long.
As the old fronds wither they simply hang down from the trunk like a skirt.
It is important not to remove the dead fronds as it protects the tree fern from drying out. This brown skirt-like feature makes it the species easy to identify. 2-6m

 

Wheki
Wheki is the most common tree fern found in forests throughout New Zealand.
It is a medium sized tree fern and the fastest growing and will tolerate a wide range of conditions.
The fronds are harsh to touch and are dark green above and paler on the underside. 5m
