Red Flowering Yellow Gum - Eucalyptus leucoxylon ssp. Rosea

Height: 10-12m

Width: 7-8m

Best feature: Beautiful flowers that will bring lorikeets to the garden

Worst feature: Grown from seed so can be variable

Ideal for: Native gardens or where light shade is preferred

A very pretty gum tree with pink flowers and flaking bark, the Red Flowering Yellow Gum is a great choice for native gardens and where habitat for birds is a priority. The canopy is not dense so dappled light will come through and plants can grow well below the tree.
