Phebalium squameum is a hardy tree that can be planted in full sun or part shade. It produces small, white, scented flowers during the spring, making it a great choice for use in hedging or as a specimen in a small garden. Once established, Phebalium squameum is tolerant of wind, coastal sites, and dry periods. However, it is frost-tender when young and is best suited to sites without hard frosts. Phebalium squameum is evergreen and native to Australia.

Foliage

This is a general guide. When a plant flowers, fruits and colours up depends on the climate where you live and on the season. If timing matters, please reach out to our team.

Foliage Type

Evergreen plants retain foliage year-round but still shed and replace some leaves gradually as part of their normal growth cycle, rather than losing them all at once.

Deciduous plants shed all their leaves for part of the year (usually in autumn and winter), usually in response to colder temperatures or dry seasons, often producing seasonal colour before leaf drop.

Semi-evergreen plants sit between the two, keeping most of their foliage but losing some or all leaves briefly under cooler or drier conditions before quickly regrowing them.
