Specification
| Mature height | 18–30 m |
|---|---|
| Crown spread | 10–20 m — broad and flat-topped (indicative) |

| Root-ball diameter | Up to approximately 65 cm for large trees; confirm for the selected grade. |
| Growth rate | Fast |
| Habit | Deciduous in a marked dry season |
| Flowering | Fragrant cream-white powderpuff heads, followed by long flat pods |
Landscape use
Large-scale shade, windbreaks, roadside and boundary planting, and site reclamation. The flat spreading crown covers a lot of ground quickly, which is the main reason to specify it.
The long seed pods hang through the dry season and rustle in wind, which is part of its character in open landscape. It establishes readily, so it suits naturalistic and large-scale schemes particularly well.
Site tolerance
| Drought | High |
|---|---|
| Salinity | Moderate — used in coastal shelterbelts (indicative) |
| Wind | Moderate — fast growth gives weak branch unions |
| Soil | Very wide range, including poor, shallow and saline-affected soils |
| Heat | High |
| USDA zone | 10–12 |
Export notes
