The habit is distinctive: a rounded head of pendulous branchlets, almost willow-like at a distance but far tougher and evergreen. It is the standard choice when a designer needs a graceful, non-invasive shade tree for hot dry conditions and difficult alkaline soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Wilga\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeeping Evergreen Canopy\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fine drooping foliage gives a soft, willow-like silhouette that never drops its leaves.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtreme Drought Endurance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Survives long rainless periods in inland Australia with no supplementary water once established.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNon Invasive Roots\u003c\/strong\u003e: Root behaviour is well suited to planting near paving, kerbs and services, which is why councils use it.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAromatic Foliage\u003c\/strong\u003e: A member of the citrus family, the crushed leaves release a distinctive resinous scent.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrost and Alkalinity Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copes with heavy frost, limestone soils and clay, a combination few ornamentals manage.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStreet and Verge Tree\u003c\/strong\u003e: A proven urban performer in hot dry towns from Dubbo to Mildura and across regional South Australia.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCourtyard Shade\u003c\/strong\u003e: The compact rounded crown fits a paved courtyard where a eucalypt would be unsafe and oversized.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDry Garden Feature\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reads as an elegant specimen in a low water native or Mediterranean planting.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFarm Shade and Shelter\u003c\/strong\u003e: Traditionally valued on grazing country as a shade tree and drought fodder species.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5 to 3.5m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 to 7m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn and spring, avoiding extreme summer heat\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very adaptable; sand, loam, clay and calcareous soils all suit provided drainage is not permanently poor\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstablishment Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water deeply every week or two through the first two summers, then step back completely, because wilga performs best when it is not pampered.
