Introducing what is possibly the world's most beautiful small/medium pine tree:
Daintree Pine -
Gymnostoma australianum (in the
causaurina family)
Check out this little beauty..natural conical shape no pruning required, no spines or prickles, has an incredible grip on the ground you won't believe it I didn't!!
Grows in full sun,
from tropical NQ down to Victoria 0 - 40'C excessive wet and dry! I kid you not!! Has
no known pests or diseases Has no need for stakes will ultimately grow to 3 - 6m high
The next time you have someone you know who wants a conifer or similar shaped small medium tree think about this little beauty, it even has flushes of brilliant lime green...loves growing in tubs and pots. It is a relic plant from the past just like the Wallemi pine. It would work as an excellent screening plant, or median strip planting.
