Eucalyptus cladocalyx

Eucalyptus cladocalyx, commonly known as Sugar Gum, is a majestic and hardy Australian native eucalyptus prized for its towering height, smooth peeling bark, and ecological value. Growing 20–35 meters tall (sometimes reaching 40 meters) with a broad canopy up to 20 meters wide, this tree commands attention as a striking landscape feature and a vital habitat for native wildlife.

Its lance-shaped, glossy green leaves emit a classic eucalyptus scent, while clusters of white to cream flowers from mid-summer to early autumn attract bees, birds, and other pollinators—enhancing biodiversity wherever it’s planted.

Ideal for windbreaks, shade, or ornamental purposes, Sugar Gum thrives in full sun and tolerates drought, wind, and poor soils with ease once established. Its durable timber is valued in construction and craft, while its low maintenance requirements make it accessible for large-scale landscape projects.

This tree looks excellent in spacious gardens, parks, and eco-conscious designs where a bold, resilient presence is desired. It’s a powerful, beautiful choice for those who want to combine aesthetics with environmental benefits—providing shade, shelter, and a natural haven for wildlife all year round.
