Plants in this Plant Pack

This plant pack consists of a planting plan, plants, fertiliser tablets, and plant protectors.

Crowsnest poplar is primarily used for shelterbelts and windbreaks, because of its narrow habit and fast growth. As a deciduous tree, this is great for a shelter planted east to west, as in winter the loss of leaves will miminse shading on the south side of the planting, while still creating a windbreak. Crowsnest is moderately resistant to rust, drought tolerant, and is best suited to drier, inland locations as it has a low salt tolerance. It will grow to a height of 20-30 metres, and is frost hardy. Phormium cookianum is extremely hardy and tolerates most conditions. It is planted at the base of the poplar to create a year round low shelter, or privacy screen for the road. Cookianum is smaller than Phormium tenax, therefore won’t push out your fences as far.

It will grow to a height of 20-30 metres.

The planting plan is for an area 4.5m wide x 50m long.
