Angophora hispida - Dwarf Apple Gum

Angophora hispida – Dwarf Apple is a compact Australian native tree valued for its distinctive red-bronze new growth, fuzzy stems, and dense summer flowering. Typically growing to 3–5 metres high, this small tree or large shrub develops a full, rounded canopy and is well-suited to gardens prioritising biodiversity and structure.

In late spring and early summer, Angophora hispida produces showy clusters of creamy-white flowers that attract pollinators and nectar-feeding birds. Its broad, green leaves and contrasting red young stems offer added visual interest year-round.

Angophora hispida performs reliably in sandy or loamy soils, with good drought and light frost tolerance once established. It looks excellent in native gardens, small feature tree applications, and informal screening, especially where a resilient, low-maintenance choice is required.
