Description

The Australian Willow is a graceful, evergreen tree prized for its elegant, weeping form, aromatic foliage, and exceptional adaptability to dry climates. Its long, slender, glossy leaves are a distinctive olive-green to silver-green and release a pleasant, spicy fragrance when crushed. It forms a dense, rounded canopy of fine-textured, pendulous branches that provide dappled shade. Remarkably drought, heat, and wind-tolerant once established, it is an outstanding low-water choice for streetscapes, parks, and gardens where a medium-sized, clean, and resilient shade tree is desired.

• Elegant Weeping Habit: Develops a handsome, rounded crown with fine-textured, gracefully weeping branchlets, creating beautiful dappled shade.

• Aromatic, Fine-Textured Foliage: Long, narrow, glossy leaves are aromatic when crushed and provide a soft, willow-like appearance without the invasive roots.

• Exceptional Drought & Heat Tolerance: Once established, it is incredibly water-efficient and thrives in hot, sunny, and dry conditions with minimal irrigation.

• Clean & Low-Litter: An extremely tidy tree; it is evergreen, produces insignificant flowers and small, non-messy fruit, and is not prone to major pest issues.

• Ideal for Urban & Dry Landscapes: Perfect as a street tree, patio shade tree, or lawn specimen in Mediterranean and water-wise gardens. Its roots are non-invasive.
