Waterhousea floribunda is naturally found in Australia from south-eastern Queensland to northern New South Wales growing along stream banks. 

It prefers a well-drained but moist fertile soil, in a protected sunny position and is moderately frost and drought tolerant.

The Weeping Lilly Pilly is grown for its flowers and habit. It is used in parks or medium size gardens as a lawn specimen as a shade tree and for screening when young. 

It is suitable for coastal or mountain positions establishing in 2 to 4 years and is planted as a street tree or for avenues. It may be trim to form a hedge along borders but the ripening fruit may be messy.  When young, tree may be grown as an indoor potted plant tolerating a shaded position. ID 1771

Under cultivation the tree is usually smaller 6 m (18 ft) tall and wide and tolerates slight frost in cooler conditions, as far south as Melbourne. The trunk has hard fissured dark grey bark and is slightly flanged at the base.
