Eucalyptus Pleurocarpa, formerly known as Eucalyptus tetragona, is a shrubby mallee reaching 2-3 metres in height, prized for its distinctive silver and square-shaped fruit. Native to the coastal plains of Western Australia, from the Stirling Ranges to Esperance and north of Perth in Eneabba, it thrives in sandy, well-drained soils. In late spring and summer, it produces charming white flowers, complemented by smooth silvery branchlets. Commonly known a Tallerack, this aromatic plant, with its silvery-green foliage and unique gumnuts, is highly sought-after for the cut foliage market, making it a valuable addition to any garden.
