10 Seeds Eucalyptus leucoxylon megalocarpa Pink Flowering Gum

Eucalyptus leucoxylon megalocarpa, commonly known as the Pink Flowering Gum, is a small to medium evergreen tree noted for its smooth bark and clusters of pink to rose-colored flowers that appear mainly in winter and spring. It brings year-round structure to the garden, with grey-green lance-shaped foliage and a rounded canopy suited to a range of landscape styles.

This gum works well as a specimen or windbreak tree in temperate gardens, where its nectar-rich blooms draw birds and bees and its dense canopy offers shade. Seed-grown plants are variable in flower color, so bloom shade may range from pale pink to deeper rose. Plant in an open, sunny position and allow room for the canopy to develop.
