How do you go about creating a (comparatively) fast tree canopy and sense of maturity in your garden? How about planting a eucalyptus tree?! They’re now grown in many places around the world in gardens and as a forestry crop…but….what do you plant under them in a garden setting!?
This episode was shot in Stephen Ryan’s wonderful garden in Macedon and takes a look at some of his planting scheme for this dry shade area which is surprisingly varied!
Stephen’s garden is in Macedon, near Melbourne in Victoria, S.E. Australia. The climate is described as cool Mediterranean with occasional light frosts. Roughly the equivalent of a Zone 10 in the US and parts of S.E. England - on a good day!
The plants mentioned in this episode are:
Eucalyptus viminalis Manna Gum
Parthenocissus quinquefolia Virginia Creeper
Ruscus aculeatus Butcher's Broom
Nandina domestica ‘Moonbay’
Aechmea recurvata
Piper excelsa New Zealand Pepper Bush
Cyclamen hederifolium
Thanks for watching!
