Why Commercial Clients Choose Leafland
Trees That Perform
Eliminate the middleman markups by purchasing directly from a team of specialised growers who have been in the business since 2001. Our 35-acre Palmerston North nursery grows over 700 specimens in challenging conditions, producing hardier trees that maintain their autumn splendour even in exposed locations— reducing replacement costs and client complaints.
While Leafland specialises in large-scale commercial projects, our expertise also extends to small garden trees in NZ for end-users planning their personal garden or compact commercial spaces.
With our live inventory system, you’ll know the exact stock levels of each variety before you make a bulk order purchase. This ensures uniformity that is impossible to achieve when sourcing autumn trees from multiple suppliers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What trees look the best in autumn?
For commercial landscapes seeking maximum impact, we carry several autumn trees in NZ that consistently deliver exceptional seasonal displays. The Ginkgo biloba creates breathtaking golden vistas with its unique fan-shaped leaves, making it ideal for avenues or statement plantings. For dramatic multi-coloured effects, the Liquidambar styraciflua offers an unrivalled palette of red, orange, yellow and purple on each tree—perfect for creating focal points in public spaces.
If your project requires reliable performance in urban settings, the Platanus x acerifolia delivers bold yellow-orange autumn displays while withstanding challenging conditions. To complement these options and maintain a year-round structure, we also supply premium evergreen trees in NZ that provide the perfect backdrop for autumn colours.
How far in advance should we order trees for a large-scale autumn planting?
We recommend placing orders 6 to 12 months in advance, especially for quantities exceeding 20 trees. This lead time ensures we can reserve matched specimens that are consistently in high demand. Securing your autumn trees well in advance also guarantees the first selection of our finest specimens.
What NZ autumn tree varieties offer the best wind resistance?
Having been grown in Palmerston North’s notoriously windy conditions, all our trees develop stronger root systems and more resilient structures than greenhouse-nurtured alternatives. However, there are specific varieties like the Pyrus calleryana ‘Aristocrat’ that offer exceptional wind tolerance with its dense, columnar form while producing vibrant red and orange autumn foliage.
