About Your New Waterhousea floribunda 'Green Avenue'

Waterhousea floribunda 'Green Avenue' is a refined evergreen Australian native grown for its dense foliage and uniform form. The glossy deep green leaves are slightly wavy, creating a full lush canopy, while soft copper new growth adds seasonal variation.

Green Avenue grows to 8-12 metres tall and 5-7 metres wide, forming a rounded crown, and is a moderate-rate grower well suited to a wide range of soils with good drainage. The dense canopy and tidy habit make it excellent for street planting, screening, shade, and larger formal gardens. Fluffy white flowers in summer are followed by small pink berries that attract birds.

Green Avenue performs well in full sun to part shade and tolerates light frost once established. It is evergreen, low maintenance, and adapts well to pruning, holding reliable structure year-round across coastal and warm temperate regions of NSW, QLD, and frost-free parts of VIC.
