Summer planting
Contrary to popular opinion, summer planting is fine as long as adequate water is provided throughout any prolonged dry periods. This allows you to take advantage of increased summer growth.
Quintinia serrata
Height: 5m;  Spread: 2m
Tawheowheo (Tree)
Mottled foliage. Open branching habit. Requires cool roots in Auckland. We have difficulty propagating this so it may not always be in stock.
