Native to the rainforests and moist coastal regions of eastern Australia, from Queensland through New South Wales. It is found growing in a variety of rainforest habitats, from coastal scrubs to fully developed rainforest areas. | |
Leaf information: | Glossy, lance-shaped, dark green leaves |
Preferred Soil: | Prefers well-drained, loamy soils but can adapt to clay and sandy soils if drainage is adequate. |
This Australian native is a fast-growing, evergreen tree that provides not only visual appeal with its glossy green foliage and striking flowers but also habitat and food for native wildlife. Its sweetly scented, star-shaped yellow flowers gradually fade to white, creating a beautiful and fragrant display in the garden. This display attracts birds and bees, adding a wonderful touch of the tropics to temperate gardens.
Care Considerations: | Regular watering is beneficial during dry periods until the plant is established, after which it shows good drought tolerance. Fertiliser is not required, however a slow-release fertiliser can be used. Pruning is generally not necessary except to remove dead or damaged branches or to shape the tree as desired. |
