Where a designer wants a formal native hedge or a clean pleached screen, this is one of the very few species that genuinely delivers it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Flintwood\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClipping Response\u003c\/strong\u003e: It tolerates repeated shearing and responds by getting denser, which is rare among rainforest natives.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlush Colour\u003c\/strong\u003e: New growth emerges pink to coppery red across the whole plant, giving a seasonal colour change.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeaf Fineness\u003c\/strong\u003e: Small glossy leaves give a refined texture that suits formal and contemporary schemes.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUpright Habit\u003c\/strong\u003e: Naturally narrow and vertical, so it works in tight planting strips against a wall or fence.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruit for Birds\u003c\/strong\u003e: Small cream flowers give way to orange to red fruit taken by rainforest birds.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormal native hedge\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sheared to a crisp face along a boundary or driveway.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTall privacy screen\u003c\/strong\u003e: Left unclipped in a row it grows into a solid evergreen wall well above fence height.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeature and shade tree\u003c\/strong\u003e: A single specimen with the crown lifted gives a neat, well proportioned small tree.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRainforest restoration\u003c\/strong\u003e: An established component of east coast subtropical rainforest regeneration.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 to 1.5m centres for a clipped hedge, 2m for an informal screen\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 to 6m centres\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring through early autumn in warm zones; spring in cooler coastal districts\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist, free draining soil with organic matter; adapts to improved clay but not to standing water\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstablishment Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water twice weekly for the first three months and weekly through the first summer to build a dense root plate.
