4.8 / 5.0

I received an order last week and am so happy with it that I have just made another order. The plants are strong and healthy and the service prompt and easy to order. Thank you for your great service.

Patricia Edwards

Holly has been so helpful, she has been great in sending us tree photos, hole dimensions and upgrading our order with new stock arriving, very happy with the prompt replies and great service we have received – thank you

Eddie C

Could not recommend enough - I placed quite a large order and needed it delivered on a particular day. Holly was extremely helpful in getting that organised and even assisted with a last minute plant swap.

Harry Hart

I bought a Lilly Pilly from here and 100% will be buying from these guys again. Although the first tree didn’t look good within the first week, the team were so helpful and provided great service with the 30 day guarantee.

Sophie Robertson

Extremely impressed with the easy to navigate website, huge selection of plants but best of all were the prices. As we were looking to buy bulk Lilly Pilly’s for a hedge the discounts available were fantastic for a 10 pack.

Jessica Roe

We've used Brisbane Plant Nursery for a few of our projects over the past year and have been impressed with the quality of stock and the communication of any updates for our orders.

How to Grow and Care for the Gold Dust Tree

Light Requirements

This adaptable plant grows best in partial shade, where its gold-speckled leaves develop their richest colour. However, it can also tolerate full sun, especially in cooler climates.

Soil & Drainage

The Gold Dust Tree prefers well-draining soil but is tolerant of various soil types, including sandy and loamy conditions. Avoid overly wet or soggy soil to prevent root rot.

Watering Needs

While this plant is drought-tolerant once established, regular watering is recommended during its first year of growth to help develop a strong root system. During prolonged dry spells, provide occasional deep watering to keep the foliage vibrant.

Fertilising for Best Growth

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring and midsummer to encourage healthy growth and vivid leaf variegation. Organic mulch around the base of the plant can also help retain soil moisture and provide additional nutrients.

Pruning & Maintenance

Minimal pruning is required, but occasional trimming will help maintain a compact shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any leggy or damaged branches in late winter or early spring to keep your plant looking its best.

Winter Care

In colder regions, the Gold Dust Tree benefits from mulching around the base to protect the roots. If grown in a container, bring it indoors during freezing temperatures to prevent cold damage.

Yes, but it thrives best in partial shade, especially in hotter climates where full sun may cause leaf scorch.
