About Your New Corymbia Ficifolia 'Baby Orange'

Corymbia ficifolia ‘Baby Orange’ is a compact, grafted flowering gum prized for its vibrant orange-red blooms and manageable size, making it ideal for smaller gardens and urban landscapes. Flowering through summer, it produces dense clusters of showy flowers that attract birds, bees, and pollinators.

Reaching a mature height of approximately 3–5 metres, ‘Baby Orange’ features a neat canopy with glossy green foliage and a well-formed structure. It performs best in full sun and well-drained soil and is both drought and light frost tolerant once established.

Low maintenance and long-flowering, this variety is an excellent choice as a feature tree, street tree, or in small spaces where a full-sized flowering gum would be unsuitable. Grafting ensures reliability in size, colour, and performance.
