Medium to tall tree with slightly pendulous branches. Leaves consist of small scales surrounding the stems and ‘whistle’ as the wind passes through them. Seeds are held in cone-like fruits and provide food for Black Cockatoos. Suited to average to poor soils either dry or moist to wet. Tolerates wind, dry periods, frosts and very cold conditions.
