Syncarpia glomulifera (common name: turpentine tree)
Propagation: Seed
Cultivation: This species is hardy to about -7°c in Australian gardens[1], though this cannot be translated directly to British gardens due to our cooler summers which do not always ripen the new wood, together with our longer, colder and wetter winters[K].
A good bee plant[2].
Range: Australia - Queensland, New South Wales.
Habitat: Coastal scrub forests, preferring deep fertile soils in valleys[2].
Usage: The plant can be used to make a good screen[1].
Wood - very durable, hard, tough, heavy, resisting marine borers[2].
Soil: Can grow in light, medium, and heavy soils.
Flower Type: Hermaphrodite
