A very popular ornamental tree that will make your neighbours “green” with envy. The green bark is well-known by landscapers and is definitely the main feature of this species. It is also quite a hardy tree, growing well in poor clay soils, windy and coastal areas. In addition, this species can also handle temporary flooding or extended periods of wet conditions. It attracts a lot of bird life and is a favoured nesting tree. The foliage is sparse and allows for sunlight to shine through which is perfect if you also want other plants to grow underneath the tree. You can stare at this tree for hours whilst listening to the sounds of abundant bird life!
