‘Queensland Brush Box’ – Plant Profile and Landscaping Uses

Lophostemon confertus is commonly called the  ‘Queensalnd Brush Box’. It will grow to 15m and used widely as a street tree especially in Melbourne.

This is a fast growing tree that requires little care once established, well suited to parkland plantings and useful as a specimen tree or large screen in larger gardens.

The best specimens will be grown to form a single leader , and over time Lophostemon confertus forms a nice rounded head. 

The white flowers in summer are attractive as they are set against the darker green foliage, and they also attract bees to the garden.
