Ivory Curl Tree

Appearance: Ornamental native tree with dark glossy leaves and abundant long white grevillea-like
scented flower spikes which cascade downward. Trees will sometimes flower on one side first.

Use in: Beautiful feature plant, suited to street planting and large gardens. Attracts birds.

Planting: Plant in well drained soil in a full sun to partly shaded position in the garden. Prefers warm
climates, will tolerate light overnight frost once mature. Grows happily in southern QLD, coastal NSW
and VIC; can flower less in very high humidity FNQ.

Care: Mulch and water regularly until the plant is established, usually around 12 weeks. Prune as
desired to promote dense growth habit and flowering. Can be pruned to a shrub or hedge - see the
image of our coppiced bush in the nursery. Fertilise with a slow release native fertiliser in spring.

Size: to 30m H in rainforest conditions (much shorter 5 - 10 metres in cooler climates and domestic
settings) x 4m W.

Information: These plants are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish
quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80mm high and 42 mm wide

The Ivory Curl Tree, scientifically known as Buckinghamia Celsissima, is a medium-sized evergreen
tree native to Australia. Here is some information about the Ivory Curl Tree:

1. Scientific Name: Buckinghamia celsissima

2. Common Names: Ivory Curl Tree, Ivory Curl Flower, and Queensland Silver Ash.
3. Appearance: The Ivory Curl Tree typically reaches a height of about 15-20 meters (49-66
feet). It has glossy dark green leaves that are lance-shaped and arranged in an alternate
fashion along the branches. The most distinctive feature of the tree is its clusters of fragrant,
ivory-coloured flowers that hang gracefully, giving the tree its common name "Ivory Curl."
4. Flowering: The tree produces pendulous racemes of small, tubular flowers during spring and
summer. These flowers have a delightful fragrance and attract bees and other pollinators.
5. Habitat: The Ivory Curl Tree is native to the rainforests and coastal areas of eastern
Australia, particularly in Queensland and New South Wales.
6. Cultural Significance: The Ivory Curl Tree is popularly cultivated as an ornamental tree in
gardens and parks due to its beautiful flowers and foliage. It's often planted for its aesthetic
value and the pleasant scent of its blooms.
7. Growing Conditions: The Ivory Curl Tree thrives in well-draining soil and prefers a
subtropical or tropical climate. It requires regular watering but can tolerate short periods of
drought once established. It's important to provide protection from strong winds, as the
branches can be somewhat brittle.
8. Propagation: The tree can be propagated from seeds, which are usually found in the pods
that follow the flowering. It can also be grown from cuttings.
9. Conservation: While not listed as endangered, the Ivory Curl Tree's natural habitat can be
threatened by land clearing and urban development. Efforts are made to preserve and protect
native plant species like the Ivory Curl Tree.
Spotted Emu Bush
The term "Eremophila maculata x racemosa" seems to refer to a hybrid plant resulting from a cross

Eremophila maculata is a shrub with grey-green leaves and tubular, spotted flowers. The
flowers can range in colour from pink to purple, and they often have distinct dark spots or
markings. Eremophila maculata is native to various regions in Western Australia.
2. Eremophila racemosa: Also known as "Sturt's Desert Pea Bush," Eremophila racemosa is a
shrub that produces unique red flowers resembling the Sturt's desert pea flower, which is a
well-known Australian native flower. The flowers are often tubular and can be quite striking.
Eremophila racemosa is native to arid and semi-arid regions of Australia.
3. Hybrid (Eremophila maculata x racemosa): The hybrid plant that results from crossing
Eremophila maculata and Eremophila racemosa could potentially display a combination of
characteristics from both parent plants. This might include features like grey-green leaves,
tubular flowers, and potentially unique colour patterns and markings.
