Angophora floribunda is naturally found in Australia growing on the east coast from Victoria to Queensland but primarily in New South Wales on the coast and inland on the western slopes in open forests. 

It prefers a moist alluvial or deep sandy soil that is moderately fertile in a open sunny position and is drought and frost tolerant.

The Rough-barked Apple is grown for its rounded crown. It is planted in parks or large gardens as a lawn specimen for shade or used in woodland settings. It is suitable for coastal and inland regions establishing in 3-5 years and is long lived. The tree is also planted for soil stabilisation and attracts native birds and bees. ID 594
