Pincushion Hakea (Hakea laurina)

An easily grown tall shrub (2-5m) which may or may not form a weeping habit, but always puts out a big display of pincushion inflorescences. Flowers favoured by honey eaters. Red-tailed and white-tailed cockatoos will come on in and take the woody follicles, which is encouraged.
