Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Acmena smithii 'Minor Red Tip' Form - Acmena smithii
A refined, compact screening species delivering year-round evergreen structure and striking red new growth. Where precision hedging and strong foliar contrast are required, Minor Red Tip performs with consistency and minimal intervention.
Why Minor Red Tip
Compact, disciplined habit: Naturally tighter and more restrained than standard Acmena varieties, requiring less corrective pruning to maintain a clean line.
Seasonal colour flush: Vivid red new growth provides year-round foliar contrast without the need for flowering ornamentals.
Reliable evergreen screening: Dense canopy structure delivers consistent privacy across all seasons.
Low intervention: Holds its form with minimal maintenance, suited to landscapes where upkeep must be contained.
Versatile scale: Performs equally well in ground plantings and large-format containers.
Ideal Applications
Formal hedging: Delivers crisp, defined hedge lines for residential and commercial projects requiring refined structure.
Boundary screening: Well suited to tight or narrow planting zones along fence lines and property perimeters.
Landscape borders: Provides architectural edge definition within larger planting schemes.
Container planting: Performs well in substantial planters for courtyards, terraces, and entry statements.
