Bangalow Wholesale Nursery has added a new plant to its range.
Waterhousea floribunda ‘Green Avenue’ has been bred by the nursery and Stuart and Tracey Knowland.
It features a lustrous, broad-leaf, select Waterhousea. Green Avenue is a fully green form with glossy new growth that flushes bright green and matures to very deep green. Foliage has slightly rippled margins.
Fast growing, upright and symmetrical habit makes the tree suitable for avenue plantings or as a specimen tree to 15m. Clusters of sweet smelling cream coloured blossoms in spring.
The plant prefers soil with some organic matter for even moisture. It will tolerate dry spells once established and performs best in a position protected from strong winds. It tolerates mild frost.
Green Avenue can be lopped or hedged to encourage bushy growth and is suitable for civic plantings.
