Comments:
This Australian tree is planted as an ornamental because of its very fragrant flowers. Outside its native range it has become a very invasive species and care should be taken in making a decision about its use. Leaves that fall from the tree can inhibit the growth of other plants. Used in windbreaks, and it makes good firewood and charcoal.
