Native Hop Bush – Dodonae viscosa Seeds For Sale

Description

Hop Bush – Dodonea viscosa ssp. Spathulata, called Dodonae below.

Dodonae is an attractive bright green shrub to 3 metres that melds well with most garden types. Dodoanes grow in a variety of habitats from drier areas above 400mm annual rainfall, and a wide variety of soil types. Great for coasts in sands through to heavier soils in higher rainfall sites. Tolerates wind, drought, insect attack and establishes on rocky ground.

Dodonae makes a great medium sized screen or hedge and can look attractive in most gardens. Keep pruned to prevent it going ‘leggy’. As a habitat tree it always harbours insects and their predators, making it a great tree for insectivorous birds and insects. Grows well in a mixed plating, in part shade to full sun.

We have been collecting native seed, growing and establishing native trees, shrubs, herbs and grasses since 1992, having personally planted and seeded more than a million native plants in over 500 projects. The shrubs selected are the best mix for the greatest variety of sites to establish habitat and improve properties across Tasmania and medium to high rainfall parts of southern Australia. Once established they are resistant to: short term drought, insect attack & tolerant of fire. They also offer your property protection against wind, heat, pest insect incursions (by building up native insect predators), a level of protection against bushfire by slowing the velocity of winds and seclusion from roads and neighbours.
