Waterhousea floribunda 'Warners Select'
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.
Cultural
Prefers a full sun to part shade position and thrives in moist, well-drained soils. It is moderately drought-tolerant once established but performs best with regular watering during dry periods. This tree is tolerant of a range of soil types, including coastal conditions, and benefits froml pruning to maintain shape and encourage dense growth. Applying a slow-release fertiliser in spring supports healthy growth.
Landscape Uses
Ideal for dense hedging, windbreaks, or as a graceful shade tree, its dense, weeping foliage creates a soft, elegant backdrop, while its attractive flowers and berries add seasonal interest and wildlife appeal.
