The striking and iconic tree of the Box Ironbark forest. The dark straight trunk contrasts beautifully with its silvery-blue foliage.
The large flowers are a magnet for nectar feeding birds such as lorikeets and honeyeaters. Native insect pollinators will also benefit. The fissured bark provides home for insects that in turn become food for insectivorous birds such as tree creepers, who specialise in gleaning from tree trunks. Monitor urban trees for safety as branch attachment may become an issue as trees age.
