Prickly-leaved Paperbark

The Prickly-leaved Paperbark is a grand, slow-growing native timber tree that easily surpasses 3 meters, frequently reaching 10 to 15 meters in open landscapes. It features a spectacular trunk wrapped in thick, spongy, cream-and-tan peeling papery bark, topped with a weeping canopy of small, twisted, prickly-pointed green leaves. It yields white bottle-brush flowers in summer, serving as an exceptional acreage shade or durable rural windbreak.
