I have noticed some quite tall (5-20M) trees around the eastern suburbs
of
Melbourne that have a deep green foliage with golden grevillea like
flowers that form in strata like bands at different levels. There are
many
to be seen ranging from Mitcham to Lilydale.
I have scoured the web for grevillea finding hundreds of species, but
most
have pictures that just show the flower, not the tree, making
identification difficult.
It is a spectacular tree that attracts many birds when in flower. I'd
like
to add one to my garden.
Regards, Ed.

This is getting upto the big stuff in the genus. Most others are shrubs.
Susceptible to sooty mold in WA.
