In a designed garden it functions as a light, semi transparent shrub layer rather than a solid mass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Bursaria tenuifolia\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSummer Flowering\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flowers arrive in the heat of December and January when most native shrubs have finished, and carry a soft honey scent.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsect Habitat\u003c\/strong\u003e: It is one of the strongest butterfly and beneficial insect plants available in eastern Australia.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFine Texture\u003c\/strong\u003e: Narrow leaves and thin branchlets give a see through quality that softens fences and heavier evergreen planting.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeed Capsules\u003c\/strong\u003e: The flattened purse shaped capsules that follow flowering hold on the bush and give a second, quieter season of interest.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow Maintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e: It is far less spiny than the common blackthorn and tolerates a hard cut back to rejuvenate an old plant.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBiodiversity and habitat beds\u003c\/strong\u003e: Planted in drifts of three or five to sustain butterflies and predatory insects through summer.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInformal native screen\u003c\/strong\u003e: Makes a light, non solid boundary planting where full visual blocking is not required.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMixed shrub layer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sits well between grevilleas, westringias and native grasses without dominating them.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRural and bushfire buffer planting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Suits low input rural gardens and paddock edges once established.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 to 1.5m centres\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 to 3m centres\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn or early spring; avoid planting into peak summer heat\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adaptable to sand, loam or gravelly soils provided drainage is reasonable; slightly acidic to neutral is ideal\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstablishment Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water weekly through the first two summers, giving a slow deep soak rather than frequent sprinkles.
