Cupaniopsis newmanii - Long Leaved Tuckeroo

[Daryl]

Discovered this great local native tree growing in the estate I am moving to...like a lot of native rainforest trees here, it has a showy flush of growth...I will do my bit for the local flora and plant one in my new garden I think!

Hi Daryl - This is my first ever post on palm talk. This caught my attention because I love long-leaf tuckeroos. I have on in my garden now, and had one in my Brisbane garden for about 20 years. They have a great tropical look and seem quite tough. They are tall, thin, tropical looking and lend themselves to multi-planting, although I haven't done this myself. In Brissie mine was grown on shale and survived a drought (no watering) while we were interstate for 7 years.

They are on my list of "You can't have too many of ......"

Hi Robyn, welcome to Palmtalk! I agree, these are a fantastic little tree. A perfect companion plant in a palm/rainforest garden.
