Grevillea baileyana, or Brown Silky Oak, boasts beautiful, large, glossy foliage with a fuzzy brown underleaf, accentuated by clusters of honey-scented cream flowers in summer similar to the flowers of the Buckinghamia celissima. This medium to large tree thrives from Melbourne to north Queensland, making it versatile for various landscapes. Its low-maintenance nature makes it perfect as a feature tree, providing cut foliage and flowers for indoor arrangements. However, caution is advised due to potentially invasive roots. Note that some individuals may experience skin irritation when handling grevilleas.
