Bay Area–Based Nursery

We specialize in plants grown and delivered in their original pots and soil.
Because of their size and weight, our plants are not suitable for long-distance shipping and are delivered locally to ensure health and quality.

While delivery is limited to our local service area, we’re happy to support garden design and plant selection remotely.

For local plant professionals, we’re always glad to connect and explore ways to support your customers.

The Brisbane Box is a premier, low-maintenance evergreen street and park tree, prized for its clean habit, attractive exfoliating bark, and resilience. It develops a straight trunk, dense symmetrical canopy, and beautiful bark that peels to reveal a smooth, cream-colored surface, providing year-round interest with minimal litter or pest issues.

Features stunning ornamental bark that peels in patches throughout the year, revealing a smooth, cream to tan underlayer beneath the reddish-brown outer bark.
Grows with a naturally symmetrical, dense, rounded to pyramidal canopy that provides excellent shade and a tidy, formal appearance.
Highly adaptable and tolerant of urban conditions: drought, smog, and various soil types once established. It has a non-invasive root system.
Produces small clusters of creamy-white, honey-scented flowers in summer that attract bees.
An excellent, “clean” alternative to more problematic street trees, valued for its strength and long life.
