Ornamental native tree with dark glossy leaves and long white scented flower spikes which cascade downward. Very popular subtropical street tree, robust, shapely, and enjoyed by birds and beneficial pollinators. You can make a bushtucker drink from the nectar-rich flowers, as Bridgette on our packing team did - see the photos!
