Learn About Your New Lophostemon confertus (Queensland Brush Box)
Lophostemon confertus, commonly known as Queensland Brush Box, is a hardy, evergreen Australian native tree widely used in street planting, large gardens, parks, and commercial landscapes. It is valued for its dense canopy, non-invasive roots, and durability in urban environments.
Reaching a mature height of 10–15 metres, it forms a symmetrical, rounded crown that provides consistent shade and shelter year-round. The foliage is dark green, glossy, and leathery, while the tree’s smooth bark exfoliates in patches to reveal a mottled mix of pink, grey, and cream tones. Small white flowers appear in late spring and summer, attracting bees and other pollinators.
Queensland Brush Box is well-suited to coastal and inland conditions, tolerating heat, light frost, and moderate drought once established. It is commonly used as a street tree due to its compact roots, reliable growth habit, and low maintenance requirements.
