Booyong - Black

Nice foliage drought and frost tolerant have a small pocket of shelter to try this one. I hope it thrives. Planted in Nangus NSW in riverina so frost in open, but planted in sheltered creek bank so fingers crossed

After previous post my Booyongs are 1.5 meters high. Red Cedars are over 2 meters high. Strangler figs are over 1 meter high and have success with Ball Nuts, Candlenuts, Ivory Curl, Flame Trees and Syzygium Francisii. All in Northern Victoria.

Argyrodendron actinophyllum - Black Booyong

Very exited that my Black Booyong plants have survived their first 12 months of harsh frost and 40 degree temperatures in Victoria. My White Beech and Ficus Obliqua have also survivied. Unfortunately my Tamarinds didnt but will give them another go.
