Grevillea robusta: characteristics and care
The Grevillea robusta, popularly known as silky oak, is a tree native to eastern Australia that is an evergreen tree with a pyramidal shape that stands out for its very decorative feathery foliage, similar to that of a fern, and for its striking orange comb-shaped flowers, which appear in spring.
Its rapid growth and elegant silhouette make it a highly valued option for both ornamental trees and for rows and windbreaks in temperate climates.
It tolerates drought well once established, although it appreciates moderate irrigation in the first few years, and adapts to poor soils as long as it has good drainage.
At Ornacom, we carefully select each plant for balanced growth, good structure and vigorous development.
