Uses: As a shade or shelter tree in open parks and reserves or as a wind-break and soil control on wider roadside verges. Tolerates compacted soils and moderate coastal exposure. Slow growing. Not suitable for narrow street locations due its size and spread.
Can be clipped as a tight hedge.
Caution: Produces acorns so not suitable near footpaths. As with all deciduous species consideration must be given to planting in locations where litter will not reach waterways.
Can be grown in locations such as roof gardens where constricted roots will constrain size.
Note: This species is provisionally classified schedule 2 by SA Water and requires written approval before being planted in any street or drainage area. It should not be planted closer than 3.5 metres to any sewer main or connection.
