Best practice management guide - Bitou bush
The exact date and manner of introduction of bitou bush into Australia are unknown.
The introduction probably was accidental through dumping of ballast by ships arriving from South Africa.
Earliest herbarium records indicate an introduction to the Stockton area near Newcastle, NSW, in about 1908.
From 1946-1968 bitou bush was planted deliberately along the NSW coast by the Soil Conservation Service of NSW to aid in erosion control and post-mining rehabilitation.
