Description

Common name: Soapbark tree

Quillarja saponaria is an evergreen tree native to the warm temperate areas of central Chile. Despite its native origins it is a very hardy tree and has become a favourite in our garden. Trees are drought resistant and will tolerate temperatures down to -12.

It is a very attractive tree covered in small shiny evergreen leaves which at first appearance look similar to some of our NZ Pittosporum species. The branches have a slightly weeping habit which is very attractive. Trees flower in January and are a bee magnet. Rare in New-Zealand.
