Selecting the right tree for your property is one of the most important landscaping decisions you will make. Trees provide shade that can reduce your home's cooling costs by up to 25%, increase property values by 10-20%, create habitat for native wildlife, and contribute to cleaner air in your neighbourhood. In 2026, with increasing focus on sustainable living and climate-resilient gardens, choosing the right tree has never been more important.
Native Australian Trees: Species like the Lemon Myrtle, Illawarra Flame Tree, and various Eucalyptus varieties are perfectly adapted to Australian conditions. These trees require less water, provide food and shelter for native birds and wildlife, and create an authentic Australian garden atmosphere.
Fruit Trees: Growing your own fruit is a rewarding experience. Popular choices include Dwarf Meyer Lemon, Avocado, Mango (for warmer climates), and various stone fruits. Our quiz can help you find which fruit trees will thrive in your specific location.
Shade Trees: Trees like the Jacaranda, Crepe Myrtle, and Poinciana provide excellent shade coverage while adding stunning seasonal colour to your garden. These trees are perfect for creating cool outdoor living spaces.
Small Garden Trees: Limited space does not mean limited options. Compact varieties like Japanese Maple, Ornamental Pear, and Magnolia are ideal for smaller gardens, courtyards, and even large pots.
