Corymbia torelliana is naturally found in Australia near Cairns in Far North Queensland growing in and along the margins of rainforest on the coast and into the adjoining tablelands. 

It prefers a well drained sandy or granite based soli that is organic rich and moist in an open sunny position and is frost and drought tender. 

Cadagi is grown for its attractive bark and its rounded crown. It is planted in parks and gardens as a specimen or used as a street tree in tropical regions. It establishes in 3 to 5 years and is suitable for coastal or low mountain regions. It is also planted in rainforest gardens as a quick filler tree. Care should be taken as it self sows quickly and may become a weed. ID 2928

Note:
The habit of the tree varies with a short bole and a dense rounded crown in an open position to a long straight trunk and an open crown in closed forests.
