Waidak is a medium sized tree with dark grey wood and long drooping needle-shaped leaves. It grows to 10 metres tall and flowers all year round,

The Wurundjeri-woiwurrung used their wood for boomerangs.

It grows best in low-lying areas with well-drained soil, such as rocky coastal areas and prefers full sun. The best time to plant them is during the hot summer months, as cold temperatures slow germination and little treatment is needed of the seedlings.
