The improved variety of Waterhousea floribunda bred by Downes Wholesale Nursery features a weeping habit with lush green new growth and a ripple in the leaf.

Waterhousea floribunda sweeper is a denser form, making it a suitable plant for a large screen.

Waterhousea Sweeper also makes a suitable street tree and feature plant, performing well in sites like WestPoint Shopping Centre, Blacktown, where large specimens have been used for pavement planting creating a softening effect in a harsh, concrete environment.

Waterhousea floribunda Sweeper can also be seen at Mirvac’s Mornington Estate, Holsworthy, where it has been used for street trees and screening.

Waterhousea Sweeper grows to a height of 10m x 5-8m wide.

It will grow in full sun to part shade and has clusters of white flowers in summer. It will also tolerate light frosts in cool climates.
