Phebalium squamulosum

Phebalium squamulosum varies greatly due to its wide habitat range.

Some specimens grow as shrubs, while others resemble small trees.

This species can be found in both New South Wales and Queensland.

Phebalium squamulosum prefers a well-drained soil in a dry to mildly acidic environment for optimal growth.

This reflects the plant's natural habitat. This subspecies is frost-hardy and thrives in both full sun and partial shade.

Pruning during or after flowering helps maintain its compact, rounded shape and prevents twiggy growth.

Only a scale insect poses a pest threat, which can be manually removed or controlled with safe chemicals. For serious infestations, consult with local experts for advice.
