The trunk and branches are covered in fibrous grey-brown bark and twist into sculptural shapes with age, carrying a broad spreading crown of dull green opposite leaves. In summer the whole canopy can turn creamy white with masses of fluffy flowers, hence the species name. This is a genuinely large tree for genuinely large spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Rough-Barked Apple\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrunk Form\u003c\/strong\u003e: Mature trees develop crooked, muscular limbs and a broad buttressed base that no fast ornamental can imitate.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMass Flowering\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy summer flowering carries scent and brings in lorikeets, honeyeaters and native bees.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: It grows naturally on alluvial flats and poor sandy ridges alike, and handles seasonally damp ground.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHabitat Value\u003c\/strong\u003e: Older specimens form hollows and rough bark crevices that support possums, microbats and nesting birds.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShade Quality\u003c\/strong\u003e: The wide crown throws deep, cool shade over stock, paddock or lawn.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcreage and rural feature tree\u003c\/strong\u003e: Set well away from buildings it becomes the defining tree of a property.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaddock shade\u003c\/strong\u003e: A traditional stock shade tree through the tablelands and coastal valleys of New South Wales and Queensland.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRevegetation and habitat planting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ideal for restoring a locally indigenous canopy layer along the east coast.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePark and civic open space\u003c\/strong\u003e: Suited to large public reserves where its scale and limb spread are an asset.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 to 10m for a windbreak or shelter row\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 to 15m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn or spring, ahead of reliable rainfall\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very adaptable from sand to clay loam, handles seasonal wet and low fertility, no lime and no permanently saturated ground\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstablishment Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water deeply every week or two through the first two summers, then taper off so the tree becomes self-sufficient.
