During autumn, the serrated, green, summer foliage changes to yellow, orange and burgundy. Prunus ‘Kojo No Mai’ grows best in a well-drained, moderately fertile, soil in full sun and once established has some drought tolerance. Growing to about 2 metres, this unusual, pretty flowering cherry would suit patios, courtyards, small gardens and containers. Makes an ideal gift.

	New from OCP - eco-360 sprayer Up to now trigger sprayers have only allowed the user to spray the top surface of leaves. Most of the products in our range require direct contact with the leaf surface or insects themselves so a sprayer that allows both sides of the leaf surface to be sprayed at once was needed. The exciting solution we’ve discovered is the eco-360 sprayer. The eco-360 sprayer is a 1L trigger sprayer that has a nozzle which rotates 360 degrees while the bottle remains upright. So the underside of leaves can be sprayed without any hassle! The eco-360 will make misting hanging baskets easy and allow spray to penetrate those hard-to-reach places.

	New Dietes from Plants Management Australia (PMA) Discovered by a WA nurseryman, this lovely form of Dietes iridioides was selected for its distinctive variegation and tough habit. It’s called Dietes ‘White Tiger’. This new selection has many applications for home gardens, mass landscape plantings, roundabout plantings or parks and gardens. It’s a fast grower for pots or the garden. Masses of white Iris-shaped flowers appear for many months giving this variety an advantage over the many grasses on the market that barely flower. Trials have proven that ‘White Tiger’ will perform in full sun or part shade. Plants Management Australia Tel: 03 6265 9920

	New Defender MaxGuard from Scotts Defender MaxGuard is a ready to use, systemic insecticide with a triple action effect.
