Warners have carefully selected the finest plants for propagation, resulting in this superior form that is bushier, and stronger. ‘Warners Select‘ is a graceful, medium to large Australian native tree with a naturally weeping, pendulous habit. It features glossy, dark green leaves that are lance-shaped and arranged densely along slender branches. In summer, it produces abundant clusters of small, fragrant white flowers, followed by decorative pink to red berries that attract birds. Its elegant, flowing form and dense foliage make it a striking specimen tree or screen.
