Salix babylonica
Some permanent water such as rivers and swamps is a prerequisite for habitat, and trees preferred include broad-leaved paperbark ("Melaleuca quinquenervia"), mangroves, and river sheoak ("Casuarina cunninghamiana"), as well as rough-barked apple ("Angophora floribunda"), English sycamore ("Acer pseudoplatanus") and weeping willow ("Salix babylonica"). The species was associated with white feather honeymyrtle ("Melaleuca decora") and swamp sheoak ("Casuarina glauca") in a study at three sites in western Sydney. Cicadas will perch on branches rather than the trunk.
