Angophora subvelutina

Scientific NameAngophora subvelutina
CategoriesTree
Common Name(s)Broad-Leaved Apple
FamilyMyrtaceae

Description

"Medium-sized tree to 20m tall. Forming a lignotuber." (Euclid, 4th Ed.)

Notes

"Grows in alluvial soil and gravelly clay in open forest." (Flora of Australia)

Here, the seed collector must pay considerable attention to fruit development and ripening because the window for collection is narrow. The fruit dehiscence function may 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. Angophora subvelutina is a manageable tree to deal with where seed collection is concerned. Its often low, branchy habit and soft limbs contribute to this.

Historical Notes

Distribution

"Occurs from near Bundaberg, Qld, south mainly in coastal areas to near Taree, N.S.W., then apparently disjunctly around Sydney and near Araluen." (Flora of Australia)
