Australian Native Trees and Shrubs

Acacia acinacea (Gold Dust Wattle) Acacia pendula, Acacia polybotrya (Western Silver Wattle) Acacia pycantha (Golden Wattle) Agonis (Willow Mrytle) Astartea fascicularis, Banksia indigrifolia, Banksia robur (Swamp Banksia) Boronia clavata, Baeckea stenophylla, Callistemon (Bottlebrush) Casuarina (Sheoak) Eucalyptus (most species) Eremophila bignoniflora, Eugenia (Australian Rose Apple and Lily Pilly) Grivellia robusta (Silky Oak) Melalueca (Paper Bark and Honey Mrytle) Prostanthera rotundifolia (Round-Leaved Mint Bush) Taxandria juniperina (Juniper Myrtle) Tristiana (Queensland Box) Westringia (Australian Rosemary)

Notes - Although there are many Australian natives that are suitable for clay soils, it's important to remember that clay tolerance can vary a lot depending on the sub-species. For example, certain sub-species of acacias, banksias and grevillias (such as Acacia pendula and Banksia indigrifolia) will do well on heavy soils but the majority of sub-species will struggle. Conversely many melaluecas and most eucalypts (such as Silver Dollar Gum and Ironbark) will do well on clay soils but some may struggle. Generally speaking, Western Australian natives are less likely to do well on clay than those from Eastern Australia, as most soils in the west of the country are relatively light and sandy.
