Looking for an official Treebate tree list? There isn’t one. DWER has not published an approved species list for the Treebate program — the eligibility rule is simply that the tree must be an Australian native reaching at least 3 metres at maturity, purchased from a WA commercial nursery. The choice of species is yours.
That flexibility is useful, but it also means there’s nothing to check your tree against. This page is treebate.com.au’s compiled list of every native species we have fully verified for Treebate eligibility and PSHB biosecurity status — kept current against the DPIRD WA Host List and the May 2026 Exclusion List.

What the PSHB status column means:
- Not listed — the species does not appear on the DPIRD WA Host List at all. Lowest possible PSHB risk.
- Negligible / Low — confirmed Non-Reproductive Host. PSHB may attack but cannot breed in the tree, and the tree is not expected to die from infestation.
- Moderate — confirmed Reproductive Host. Requires a Manual Review check against your specific suburb’s PSHB zone before purchase.
All 14 species above reach 3m+ at maturity and are Treebate-eligible. Acorn Banksia and Showy Honey Myrtle have specific conditions — check the notes in the table.
PSHB data sourced from DPIRD WA Host List v6, 30 June 2025, and the DPIRD PSHB Tree Species Exclusion List, 26 May 2026. Always verify your suburb’s zone at dpird.wa.gov.au/pshb before purchasing.
Species You Cannot Claim
These species are either confirmed high-risk PSHB hosts or excluded under treebate.com.au’s biosecurity policy. Do not purchase these for a Treebate claim if you live in or near the Perth Quarantine Area.
| Tree | Botanical Name | Why It’s Excluded |
| Red Flowering Gum | Corymbia ficifolia | High Reproductive Host — hard-stop in the Management Zone |
| Marri | Corymbia calophylla | High Reproductive Host — hard-stop in the Management Zone |
| Swamp Paperbark | Melaleuca rhaphiophylla | Very High Reproductive Host — hard-stop across the entire Quarantine Area |
| River Sheoak | Casuarina cunninghamiana | Very High Reproductive Host and listed on DPIRD’s May 2026 Exclusion List |
| WA Peppermint (Willow Myrtle) | Agonis flexuosa | Negligible risk on the official DPIRD list, but permanently excluded under treebate.com.au’s own stricter policy — see why below |
A note on Agonis flexuosa: DPIRD rates this species Negligible risk, and it appears in some DWER promotional materials. treebate.com.au applies a stricter standard than that rating and does not recommend it to any customer in a PSHB-affected area, regardless of zone.
