Pseudopanax 'Trident' ^Sale

Pseudopanax ‘Trident’

Description:
Striking native shrub or small tree, admired for its glossy green foliage shaped like a three-pronged trident. The leaves are leathery, lush, and bold in form, giving the plant a distinctive architectural look. Its upright, bushy growth makes it excellent for modern gardens, screening, or as a feature plant. Small, inconspicuous flowers appear in summer, followed by purple-black berries that attract birds.

2 – 3 m
Width:

1.5 – 2 m

Position:

Prefers full sun to part shade. Best with some shelter from cold, drying winds.

Soil:

Moist, fertile, well-drained soils. Tolerates light clay once established.

Uses:

·          Ornamental specimen plant

·          Adds bold, architectural structure to gardens

·          Screening and hedging in contemporary or native landscapes

            Care tips:

·          Plant in a sheltered spot, away from strong winds which can damage foliage.

·          Water regularly during the first couple of summers to establish deep roots. Once established, it is reasonably drought tolerant.

·          Mulch around the base to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

·          Prune lightly to shape if needed, but usually requires little maintenance.

·          Protect young plants from heavy frost; mature plants tolerate light frost.

·          Feed in spring with a general-purpose slow-release fertiliser for lush growth.
