Native to creeks in Hogarth Range in the lower catchment. Tolerates medium frosts. Have had best results planting seed straight into ground, compared to planting seedlings. Seem to tolerate drier soils better. Is fast growing when moisture is present. 1 photo taken July 2007. 2nd photo taken Feb 2009
