Grevillea baileyanais naturally found from far-north Queensland in Australia to Papua New Guinea growing on the coast and adjoining hill sides along creek banks or ridges that are associated with rainforests.
It prefers a well-drained moist organic rich acidic soil in a wind protected sunny position and is drought tolerant but heavy-frost tender.
White Oak rarely attains 8m (25ft) under cultivation and is grown for its attractive leaves. It is planted in parks and gardens as a specimen or as a street tree. It is also used along borders for a tropical effect and establishes in 3 to 5 years. It is suitable for sub tropical or tropical settings on the coast and in the lower mountains, tolerating light frost. ID 1532
Note:
