Angophora cordifolia Evergreen tree (1 Page of 5) The Angophora cordifolia plant species is found in Australia - New South Wales, Queensland. It is a member of the Myrtaceae family. Some home gardeners know the variety as A. costata. Domin. A. lanceolata. Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Medicinal | Edible Uses Latin Name: Angophora cordifolia Family: Myrtaceae Author: Cav. Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: 30 Mature Width: Habitat: Eucalyptus forests, especially in poor sandy or stony country[156].
Cultivation Notes: Prefers a sunny position in a moderately fertile well-drained moisture retentive circum-neutral soil[200]. Tolerates poor and dry soils, especially those low in mineral elements[200]. Established plants are drought tolerant[200], but they are not very wind resistant[77].
Plants succeed outdoors in Britain only in the very mildest areas of the country[200]. They are hardy to at least -7°c in Australian gardens[157], but this cannot be translated directly to British gardens because of our cooler summers and longer colder and wetter winters.
There is some confusion over the correct name for this species. We have used the name A. cordifolia Cav. - one synonym of this species is given as A. costata. (Gaertn.)Britten. Some of the information we have included here was listed under A. costata. Domin., which we have assumed is the same species.
Trees lose their branches in high winds[157]. They sheds their bark annually[167].
