Description

A beautiful Eucalyptus that has spectacular flowers with interesting red buds which pop open to reveal yellow-green stamens that arrange themselves into clusters. The flowers are large (2-3”) blooms from Fall to Spring and are great for cut flowers. It is drought tolerant and does best with well-draining soil. Growing 25-30' tall and as wide, it generally assumes a multi-trunked from and is fast growing. The curved blue-green leaves are another interesting quality of this tree. It attracts bees and hummingbirds.
