It grows in most soils from heavy clay to sandy and alkaline or red sandy loams in an open sunny to exposed position and tolerates frost, drought and high temperatures. 

The Western Coolibah is grown for its picturesque habit and is planted in parks, large gardens and around water courses as a specimen or for shade particularly around billabongs. It is suitable for inland arid regions or on the coast establishing in 2 to 4 years. It is also used in avenue plantings and is grown in the USA. ID 2360
