A beautiful small tree or bushy shrub that can be used stand-alone tree, mixed with other natives or hedged to great effect due to its fine narrow leaf and bushy habit. While we have classified it as having a standard tree shape, we grow it bushy and full to the ground. Flowers are white and occur in the the leaf axils. They are generally seen in late winter to spring. These are followed by woody seed pods.
