Description

The Brisbane Box is a premier, low-maintenance evergreen street and park tree, prized for its clean habit, attractive exfoliating bark, and resilience. It develops a straight trunk, dense symmetrical canopy, and beautiful bark that peels to reveal a smooth, cream-colored surface, providing year-round interest with minimal litter or pest issues.

Features stunning ornamental bark that peels in patches throughout the year, revealing a smooth, cream to tan underlayer beneath the reddish-brown outer bark.
Grows with a naturally symmetrical, dense, rounded to pyramidal canopy that provides excellent shade and a tidy, formal appearance.
Highly adaptable and tolerant of urban conditions: drought, smog, and various soil types once established. It has a non-invasive root system.
Produces small clusters of creamy-white, honey-scented flowers in summer that attract bees.
An excellent, “clean” alternative to more problematic street trees, valued for its strength and long life.
