where is strawberry clover (trifolium fragiferum mainly grown in Australia

Strawberry clover (Trifolium fragiferum) is mainly grown or found in southern and eastern Australia , especially in south-eastern Queensland, southern and eastern New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, and south-western Western Australia. In agriculture, it is mostly used in temperate, medium-to-high rainfall, irrigated, saline, or waterlogged areas , rather than as a widespread mainstream pasture crop across all of Australia.

Where it’s most common

• Southern and eastern Australia overall.

• Victoria, where it is widely naturalised and also considered an environmental weed in some areas.

• Western Australia, especially parts of the south-west, including several IBRA regions and LGAs listed in the flora profile.

• New South Wales pasture districts with saline or waterlogged conditions.

Practical takeaway

If you’re asking where it is mainly grown as a pasture plant , the best short answer is: temperate southern Australia, with strongest use in wetter, irrigated, saline, or waterlogged zones. If you’re asking where it is most widely established in the wild , it is broadly naturalised across southern and eastern states.

TL;DR

Mainly southern and eastern Australia , especially Victoria, NSW, Tasmania, South Australia, and south-west WA , with agricultural use concentrated in temperate, wetter, or saline/waterlogged areas.
