Rulingia dasyphylla
Propagation: Seed
Cultivation: Succeeds in most soils and situations in Australian gardens[1].
This species is hardy to about -7°c in Australian gardens[1], though this cannot be applied directly to British gardens due to our cooler summers that often fail to fully ripen new shoots, and our longer, colder and wetter winters[K].
Range: Australia - Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.
Habitat: Found especially in gullies[2] up to the alpine zone[3].
Usage: The plant makes a fairly useful screen[4].
The fibrous inner bark has been used to make cordage[4].
Wood - fairly hard, porous[3].
Soil: Can grow in light, medium, and heavy soils.
Flower Type: Hermaphrodite
