Learn About Your New Angophora hispida - Dwarf Apple Gum
Angophora hispida, commonly known as Dwarf Apple, is a compact Australian native tree known for its distinctive fuzzy red stems, broad green foliage, and clusters of creamy-white flowers that bloom prolifically from late spring to early summer. This small tree or large shrub is ideal for native gardens, habitat planting, or low-maintenance landscapes where a dense, flowering tree is desired.
Maturing at around 3–5 metres in height, it develops a bushy, rounded form with striking new growth in rich tones of red and bronze. The summer flowering display attracts bees, butterflies, and nectar-feeding birds, adding ecological value alongside visual interest.
Angophora hispida is drought and frost tolerant once established, thriving in full sun and well-drained soils. It is a versatile choice for small spaces, informal screens, or naturalistic planting schemes where biodiversity and resilience are a priority.
