Uses: Commonly planted as a specimen street and shade tree for more open locations, parks and reserves and wider streetscapes. Deep green leaves in summer turning to intense claret colour in autumn. Select form of F.oxycarpa developed in South Australia from material from South Eastern Europe and Asia Minor.
Caution: As with all deciduous species consideration must be given to planting in locations where litter will not reach waterways.
Note: Although this species is not classified under the Sewerage Act, it is recommended that it not be planted closer than 3.5 metres to any sewer main or connection.
Caution: Not recommended for narrow streetscapes due to its potentially invasive root system.
If maintained at its optimum growing conditions this plant will develop low flammability characteristics in the event of bushfire
