  • Description

  • Notes

Evergreen tree grows quickly to 80' x 50'. Leaves are medium green long and slender. They appear to cascade off the branches. Bark peels revealing smooth gray, tan or whiteish bark on trunk and branches. Very drought resistant. Native to Australia.
This is a very large tree so be sure to have room to plant it.
