25.01.2022 Part 2: Our tree farm looks amazing at the moment! So many trees all looking lush and pretty. Here’s a video walk through to show you around. (See part 1 in previous post).

22.01.2022 Cercis F O R E S T P A N S Y... The colour on these trees this year is stunning! How pretty does it look in the spring rain? Cercis canadensis grows to approx 4x4m and looks great every season. ... Bare in winter the branches have great architectural lines. In spring the branches are dotted with hot pink buds of tiny blossom then res new leaves appear. Summer the leaves darken to a deeper maroon and dark greens. Autumn is a slow display of colour finishing in oranges and golden yellow. A beautiful small feature tree for your garden. Can cope with full sun if watered and cared for. Not to be confused with Smokebush (Cotinus) or Native Hibiscus/ Cottonwood (Hibiscus tileaceus Rubra) - in summer they all have similar big heart shaped leaves. We have a new batch available approx 1.4-1.6m high now $140 each. #adelaidetreefarm #redfoliage #cerciscanadensis #cerciscanadensisforestpansy #forestpansy #beautifulsmalltree

20.01.2022 Same garden, different season. We’ve just had 3 big Golden Elms on the property treated for elm beetle (big problem in the hills more so than in the city) and it’s looking sensational this year. The red tree in 2nd pic is a Japanese maple. ... Matt spotted a brown snake on these steps last weekend looks like we might need a snake catcher if he keeps hanging around. #adelaidetreefarm #countrygardens #japanesemaple #goldenelm

19.01.2022 So we are closed for visits for the next 6 days 19-24 November (because of the hard lockdown in SA) but that doesn’t mean you can’t call and order/buy trees or hedges from us! We have plenty of stunning stock and I will post some more stock videos soon (see Facebook for part 1 + 2) I’m used to sending photos of stock and we can arrange delivery or you can collect post lockdown. ... Please call or text for a quicker reply Amy 0411421920. Take care, wash your hands, wear a mask, hug a tree and see you soon! Amy, James, Kellie, Brad, Ayden and Shane. Oh and Wally.

17.01.2022 This is a courtesy reminder to... WATER YOUR GARDEN TONIGHT before the hot weather over the next 2 days. Give ALL NEW trees a good soak now, tomorrow and Saturday if you want them to cope. ... Bigger established trees should be ok as we have had rain over the last week. But water anything that is vulnerable. I don’t want to hear of any losses! I’m not going to use the water spray emoji as it could be read the wrong way #adelaidetreefarm #adelaidesummer

03.01.2022 It’s all about texture and the colour palette (listen to the designer in me!) How lovely does this snapshot of our garden look? Different shades of green and contrasting textures.

Bottom left is the family namesake the Woolly Bush (Adenanthos sericeus) it’s a native shrub that can grow to approx 2m and has the most gorgeous soft foliage. Excellent for costal planting and doesn’t mind the hills either. Top left is a Cashmir Cypress (Cupressus cashmeriana) it has lovely blue/green droopy branches ans is evergreen - one of the only very big evergreen trees on the property (can grow to 20m high) We hope to see you back at the farm on Tuesday - Saturday 10-4.
