Characteristics:
Polystichum proliferum is a hardy, cool climate terrestrial fern with attractive dark green divided fronds.

Perferred Conditions:
Frost hardy and favours cool, moist areas. It will grow on a wide range of soils, preferring well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter. Filtered shade is ideal, though will tolerate full sun for short periods.

Characteristics:
 Dicksonia antarctica is the most abundant tree fern in South Eastern Australia. They are terrestrial ferns and have an erect rhizome forming a trunk, large spreading fronds and are very hairy at the bas of the stipe.

The Soft Tree Fern can be used as a food source, with the pith of the plant being eaten either cooked or raw. It is a good source of starch.

Perferred Conditions:
The fern grows on damp, sheltered woodland slopes and moist gullies, and they occasionally occur at high altitudes in cloud forests. They can grow in acid, neutral and alkaline soils. It can grow in semi-shade. It strongly resents drought or dryness at the roots, but does best in moist soil.

Characteristics:
A hardwood, Eucalyptus regnans is the tallest of all flowering plants, and possibly the tallest of all plants. They grow very quickly, at more than a metre a year, and can reach 65 metres in 50 years, with an average life-span of 400 years. The fallen logs continue supporting a rich variety of life for centuries more on the forest floor.

Perferred Conditions:
It prefers cool, deep soil with high rainfall of over 1200 mm per year.

Dimensions:
Height: - 70-100M
Spread: - 7M
Spacing: - 8M

Characteristics:
It is a hardwood with thick, rough, stringy bark, and glossy green leaves from six to 22 centimetres long, and 1½ to 7 centimetres wide. Inflorescences consist of seven to 15 white flowers.

Perferred Conditions:
It occurs on a wide range of soils in hilly or mountainous areas. In cool mountainous areas it forms tall open-forest.

Dimensions:
Height: - 90M
Spread: - 3M (trunk)
Spacing: - 5M

Characteristics:
A tender plant with neat linear foliage that twines its way about rocks or other plants. It produces greenish yellow tubular bell-shaped pendulous flowers in summer, with a sweet fragrance. As the flowers age, they flowers turn pink or purple. After flowering, deep blue edible fruits are produced that are oblong in shape and measure 2.5cm (1in) long.

Perferred Conditions:
Average to dry, sun to part shade.
