Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Silver Ash Tree Flindersia schottiana
Silver Ash is a commanding native specimen that delivers height, canopy, and refined presence in equal measure. At advanced size, it establishes quickly and reads as a mature, considered planting from day one.
Why Silver Ash
Canopy & Form: Broad, spreading crown with dense foliage that provides genuine shade and strong visual structure.
Native Credentials: Australian rainforest origin makes it well-suited to east coast climates and increasingly valued in ecologically considered projects.
Foliage Quality: Large, glossy pinnate leaves with a silver-grey underside that catches light and adds textural contrast against darker planting palettes.
Growth Rate: Vigorous once established, advancing quickly to deliver the scale that prestige landscapes demand.
Adaptability: Performs in full sun to part shade and tolerates a range of soil types, giving designers flexibility across varied site conditions.
Ideal Applications
Residential Canopy: Anchor planting for large private properties where immediate scale and shade are non-negotiable.
Avenue Planting: Consistent form makes it a strong candidate for formal or informal avenue treatments along driveways and entry corridors.
Commercial Landscapes: Suited to corporate campuses, hospitality grounds, and mixed-use developments requiring fast-establishing native canopy.
Screening & Enclosure: Dense crown provides effective visual screening at height without the monotony of hedging species.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (feature/avenue): 10–15m
Planting Season: Spring to early summer
Soil & Drainage: Prefers deep, moist, well-drained soils rich in organic matter; tolerates a range of soil types but dislikes prolonged waterlogging
