Description

An attractive evergreen tree ideal for farms, reserves, parks and large open gardens. It can be pruned into a good-looking container plant or bonsai subject that requires little to no maintenance.

A fine choice for parking bays or street pavings. When freshly cut its wood gives off an unpleasant smell, hence its common name (stinkwood). Known for its strong medicinal values.
