The Australian Willow is a graceful, evergreen tree prized for its elegant, weeping form, aromatic foliage, and exceptional adaptability to dry climates. Its long, slender, glossy leaves are a distinctive olive-green to silver-green and release a pleasant, spicy fragrance when crushed. It forms a dense, rounded canopy of fine-textured, pendulous branches that provide dappled shade. Remarkably drought, heat, and wind-tolerant once established, it is an outstanding low-water choice for streetscapes, parks, and gardens where a medium-sized, clean, and resilient shade tree is desired.

Elegant Weeping Habit: Develops a handsome, rounded crown with fine-textured, gracefully weeping branchlets, creating beautiful dappled shade.
Aromatic, Fine-Textured Foliage: Long, narrow, glossy leaves are aromatic when crushed and provide a soft, willow-like appearance without the invasive roots.
Exceptional Drought & Heat Tolerance: Once established, it is incredibly water-efficient and thrives in hot, sunny, and dry conditions with minimal irrigation.
Clean & Low-Litter: An extremely tidy tree; it is evergreen, produces insignificant flowers and small, non-messy fruit, and is not prone to major pest issues.
Ideal for Urban & Dry Landscapes: Perfect as a street tree, patio shade tree, or lawn specimen in Mediterranean and water-wise gardens. Its roots are non-invasive.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

If you’re unsure which size or form fits your project, our team is happy to help you select the best option based on your space, timeline, and design goals.

Q: Is it related to true willows (Salix)?
A: No. Despite its common name and weeping appearance, it is not a true willow. It is in the Rutaceae (citrus) family and shares no characteristics with the invasive root systems or high water needs of Salix species.
