Cupressus + Lomandra

Lomandra Lime Tuff is a compact and extremely hardy Australian native grass. Known for its bright, fine foliage that maintains its lush appearance even in challenging conditions, this plant offers year-round visual appeal. It presents as a neat mound of arching lime-green leaves that gives a soft, lush look. 

Lomandra Lime Tuff is renowned for its hardiness, being both drought and frost resistant and tolerating a range of soils. It performs exceptionally well in full sun to part shade and requires minimal maintenance once established, making it an excellent choice for borders, mass plantings or as a low-maintenance garden filler. It has compact growth habit of around 0.5m high and wide.

Trimming: Trim back any dead or damaged foliage as needed to maintain a neat appearance. In late winter or early spring, cut back the entire plant to about 15 cm above the ground to rejuvenate growth.

Fertilising: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring to support healthy growth. Lomandra Lime Tuff is low-maintenance and generally does not require heavy feeding.

Watering: Water regularly during the establishment phase. Once established, Lomandra Lime Tuff is drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional deep watering during prolonged dry periods. Ensure the soil is well-draining to prevent root rot.

Pest Control: Generally pest-free, but keep an eye out for occasional infestations of aphids or scale insects. Treat with insecticidal soap or horticultural oil if necessary.

Disease Management: Lomandra Lime Tuff is typically disease-resistant. Ensure good air circulation and proper drainage to prevent any potential fungal issues. Avoid waterlogging the soil, as excessive moisture can lead to root rot. If root rot occurs, improve soil drainage and remove affected plants.

Cupressus sempervirens Stricta is an architectural evergreen conifer commonly known as the Italian Cypress or Mediterranean Cypress. This upright cultivar stands tall with its narrow column of blue-green foliage, presenting a distinctive silhouette reminiscent of Mediterranean landscapes.

Originating from the eastern Mediterranean, this evergreen tree is not just about aesthetics. It's a testament to resilience, showcasing tolerance to coastal conditions, drought and wind. This makes it an excellent choice for planting in challenging environments where other trees might falter.

With a growth rate classified as medium, expect this tree to reach a height of 4m in just 5 years, maturing to an impressive 6m. Its slender form, with a width of just 1.5m, makes it perfect for tight areas or as a statement piece in larger landscapes. Occasional pruning will enhance its columnar shape, ensuring it remains a focal point in your garden for years to come.

Trimming: Trim your Cupressus stricta occasionally as required to maintain its narrow, columnar shape. The best time for trimming is late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or damaged branches to promote healthy growth.

Fertilising: Fertilise in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilisers as they can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of root development.

Watering: Water regularly during the establishment phase, usually the first year after planting. Once established, Cupressus stricta is drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional deep watering, especially during prolonged dry periods.

Pest Control: Monitor for pests such as aphids, spider mites, and cypress tip moths. If infestations are detected, treat with appropriate insecticides or natural predators like ladybirds.

Disease Management: Watch for signs of cypress canker, a common disease that causes dieback of branches. Look for yellowing foliage and oozing lesions on the bark. If cypress canker is detected, prune out affected branches and apply a copper-based fungicide. Ensure good air circulation around the plant to help prevent disease.
