Big Leaves / Exotics

Primitive, weird and unique from its evergreen Schefflera-like leaves to its vivid green flowers. Very frost hardy, slow growing to 20ft. Please contact us for stock availability and sizes.

Evergreen. Instantly recognisable with its curious perpendicular/pendulous leaves with their distinct texture. Masses of white flowers in May. To about 12ft or more. Please contact us for stock availability and sizes.

Thought to be extinct, this Monkey Puzzle relative was recently (1994) tracked down to N.S.W.. A hardy, easy, primitive, narrow conifer. About 15ft in 15 years so far. Please contact us for stock availability and sizes.

Pretty seems an odd word to describe the most viciously spiky plant on the nursery but it is. Beautifully organised horizontal spiky leaves on a 6ft trunk. Avoid strong winds. Please contact us for stock availability and sizes.

The true Y. gloriosa with its stout trunk and stiff ascending leaves. Impressive, wonderful texture. Excellent in windy spots. Can reach 5ft tall. Huge white flower spikes. Please contact us for stock availability and sizes.

As Yucca gloriosa but with yellow and green striped leaves. Very frost hardy but much less bulky. Could reach 4ft tall by 3ft across, less likely to form a ‘thicket’. Please contact us for other stock availability and sizes.

Another classic Victorian favourite. Trunk forming, but with graceful recurved (bending) leaves. Huge white flower spikes, as with all the Yuccas. Tp 5ft x 3ft across. Please contact us for other stock availability and sizes.
