"Small to medium-sized tree to 25 m high. Forming a lignotuber." (Euclid, 4th Ed.)

"Grows in sandy soil on sandstone hills in open forest." (Flora of Australia)

Angophora costata subsp. leiocarpa can flower well in dry seasons although rain is still required for fruit filling and ripening. The seed collector must pay considerable attention to fruit development and ripening because the window for collection is narrow. The fruit dehiscence function can be negatively affected by water stress. It may be neccessary to test locations to avoid collections of inferior material. Flowering and fruiting occurs relatively quickly as Summer is beginning.
