Banksia integrifolia
Banksia integrifolia, the Coast Banksia, is one of Australia's most adaptable native trees -- genuinely salt-tolerant and capable of thriving in the exposed coastal conditions that challenge most species. An important wildlife tree — view on Atlas of Living Australia providing nectar for birds and insects.
Specifier notes. Carries the visual weight of a feature tree in residential and commercial landscapes.
Site & establishment. Tolerates coastal exposure provided the planting hole drains and soil is not waterlogged. Salt tolerance is high enough for direct salt-laden wind exposure once established.
How we supply it. Australian native — useful where Australian native specification is mandated by brief or council. Provides nectar, fruit, or shelter that supports local wildlife outcomes.
Cape Nursery production. All Cape Nursery stock is grown 7 km from the Pacific Ocean, hardened to coastal sun and wind from propagation rather than acclimatised at point of sale. Specimens leave us biosecurity-traceable, and root-checked. National delivery is available; collection from Ewingsdale is welcomed Mon–Thu 7:30am–4pm.
