Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus gregsoniana is a compact-growing, multi-branched snow gum with a lovely weeping habit. Thick, leathery, blue-green foliage contrasts well with the newly emerging, red-coloured stems and the smooth white to grey coloured bark adds to its appeal. White flowers appear late in the year around November, attracting and providing food for native birds and beneficial insects. Great as a streetscape tree or feature tree in a small to large garden.

Soil: Prefers well-drained soils, will not tolerate wet or inundated soils.
Conditions: Full sun. Frost, drought, wind and coastal tolerant.
Size: Height 3-5m x width 4m

Corymbia maculata - Spotted Gum - is a large native tree with a tall, straight trunk with a beautiful mottled camouflage appearance as old bark sheds in summer. Foliage is dark green and glossy with small, fragrant white flowers right through autumn and winter. The blossoms produce good quality pollen for bees, nectar for honeyeaters, and leaves are favoured by koalas. Excellent for screening, shade, or as a specimen tree, revegetation and koala habitat. Good paddock tree as the thick bark resists gnawing.

Soil: Well-drained soil. Does not like wet feet
Conditions: Full sun. Stake and protect from strong winds until the plant is established. Can be frost tender in prolonged frost sites. Tolerant of most Australian climates.
Size: Height 30m x width 10m

Eucalyptus Winter Lights is a graceful, dwarf native gum valued for its airy, light-filtering canopy and elegant form. Its long, slender, apple-green leaves create a soft, willowy appearance, while the smooth trunk adds year-round ornamental appeal. During summer and autumn, the foliage is covered with masses of fragrant, nectar-rich white flowers that attract honeyeaters, bees, and other pollinators, followed by small bright green gum nuts that add further seasonal interest. Winter Lights is an excellent choice for ornamental planting, wildlife gardens, screening, windbreaks, or as a feature shade tree. It also responds well to coppicing, allowing it to be maintained as a dense informal hedge if desired.

Soil: Well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun to part shade. Drought, frost and coastal tolerant
Size: Height 6m x width 3m
