Persoonias (geebungs or snotty gobbles) comprise about a tenth of the large Proteaceae family. They are only found in Australia.
The pine-leaved geebung is one of the best geebungs for cultivation, it is a good hedge or screen plant, responding well to clipping, and is suitable for temperate and subtropical areas, being able to withstand quite heavy frosts. It will adapt to a range of sandy or clay soils, as long as there is good drainage.
