  Grevillea baileyana - brown silky oak

The beautiful, large, glossy foliage with a rusty tinge to the undersurface is complemented by sprays of honey-scented cream coloured flowers in summer. It is a medium to large tree that can grow well as far south as Melbourne and right up to north Queensland. Use it as a feature tree that can provide cut foliage and flowers for indoor use. It is virtually maintenance free, but be aware that the roots can be invasive, so do not plant anywhere near pipes or drainage, paths, buildings etc.

Note – some grevilleas can cause skin irritation to some people. If you are affected wear protective clothing when handling grevilleas
