Australian Willow (Geijera parviflora) - Description
G. parviflora is native to Australia. It produces loose clusters of unimportant small, creamy white flowers in early spring and early fall.

After your Australian Willow has grown for several years and is well established, it will start flowering, although these are visually insignificant.

Australian Willow prefers full sun, but will tolerate partial shade. They can stand drought well, and have mild tolerances to salt and wind.
Australian Willow (Geijera parviflora) - Planting
If growing from seeds, use fresh ones. Even then germination is sporadic. Cuttings are also difficult, as they don't respond to rooting hormones. Natural seedlings (whose seed coats were removed by birds) or removing the seed coat yourself may be the best option.
