Hi Kathy, I undertand that 'Áustree' is a promotional (and trademarked) name in the USA for a hybrid species of willow (s.matudana) developed in Australia. It is not an Aussie native but native to China. These are considered noxious weeds in most of this country and are a common sight blocking up our waterways. It is fascinating seeing how it is marketed in the US. I have found an info site on austrees that includes some warnings about using this plant for landscaping purposes - I hope this helps All the best! |
