Description

This variety of Eucalyptus is smaller than other species, growing to 20' tall. Leaves can vary a great deal. Lantern shaped buds precede the coral red or yellow flowers. Flowers appear winter through spring and make good cut flowers. Branches, which are cinnamon-colored, make wonderful arrangements. If planted in groves, the effect is stunning, especially with new branch growth which starts green and turns blue green. This variety is sun, drought and shade tolerant.

Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
