Coast Banksia

The Coast Banksia is an incredibly robust, long-lived native tree that grows between 5 and 15 meters tall, recognizable by its leathery green leaves with striking silver undersides. It produces large, pale-yellow cylindrical flower cones from autumn to winter, providing vital cold-season food for native birds, bees, and possums. Highly versatile, it tolerates extreme coastal wind, salt spray, sand, and heavy inland clay in full sun or partial shade.
