Red Box

The Red Box is a highly adaptable, long-lived native timber tree that easily surpasses 3 meters, frequently reaching 12 to 20 meters high with a beautifully rounded, dense canopy. It is famous for its highly ornamental, grey-green to silvery oval leaves that resemble coins, paired with rough, fibrous grey-brown bark on the trunk. It produces clusters of small white flowers in spring, offering exceptional resistance to drought and poor soils, making it a stellar selection for large acreage shade and windbreaks[cite: 23].
