Overview

Banksia integrifolia is naturally found from Queensland to Victoria growing in sand dunes and tidal estuaries but the habit of the plant may range from a tree to a shrub depending on the position and soil profile. It prefers a well drained moderately fertile sandy soil in an open sunny position and is suitable for beach front positions.
