Why we love this plant!

With its graceful, cascading foliage and dense canopy, this Australian native tree adds structure and softness to larger gardens. It produces clusters of fluffy white flowers in summer, which attract bees and other beneficial insects. Its compact root system makes it suitable for urban planting near structures, while the evergreen foliage offers shade and privacy. A good option for creating natural screening or a habitat tree in South East Queensland landscapes.

Care Considerations

Watering preferences:

  • Water regularly during establishment. Once established, it tolerates short dry periods but prefers consistent moisture.

Mulching preferences:

  • Mulch around the base to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds, particularly in warmer months.

Fertilising preferences:

  • A balanced fertiliser can be applied in spring to promote healthy growth.

Pruning preferences:

  • A light prune after flowering can help maintain a dense canopy and desired shape.

Good to Know:

  • Creamy flowers may attract native bees and other pollinators. The dense foliage provides shelter for small birds.
