Grevillea robusta is a fast growing tree species grown
for timber, poles, fuel wood, fodder, bee forage, soil
conservation, ornamental shade and windbreak.
It is easily propagated through seed though it can
also be multiplied using cuttings.
In light of its many uses and fast growth, Grevillea
robusta is one of the tree species being promoted
by the Agroforestry program for the improvement
