Why Commercial Clients Choose Leafland
Trees That Perform
Choose from over 700 tree varieties grown in Palmerston North’s harsh climate, which features challenging winds and winter frosts. Like our evergreen trees in NZ, our citrus specimens develop naturally hardier characteristics than greenhouse-raised alternatives.
This environmental conditioning creates robust root systems and stronger structural forms—critical factors for survival rates in commercial landscapes. As one of New Zealand’s top tree growers with over 20 years of specialist experience, we maintain high citrus fruit tree standards across our 35-acre nursery.
