Flindersia brayleyana is naturally found in Australia in northern Queensland growing from Townsville to Windsor Tablelands. It appears in rainforest from sea level to an altitude of 1200m (3,600ft). 

It grows in well drained basalt based (heavy) deep moist loams but will tolerate a wide range of soils in an open sunny to protected position and is frost, wind and drought tender. 

The Queensland Maple is grown for its habit and its floral display. It is planted in parks and large gardens as a lawn specimen for shade or used in a rainforest setting. It establishes in 3 to 4 years and is long lived. It is suitable for coastal or adjoining mountains and the timber is used for veneers or cabinet work. ID 3002
