Eucalyptus cladocalyx 'Nana' (Dwarf Sugar Gum)

Size: 40cm/45L
Sale price$250.00

Eucalyptus cladocalyx 'Nana' (Dwarf Sugar Gum) is a resilient, compact Australian native evergreen tree admired for its dense, rounded canopy and decorative, multicolored bark. Growing to 8–10 metres high and 4–6 metres wide, this medium-sized tree brings reliable structure, shade, and year-round visual interest to streetscapes, parks, urban gardens, and rural landscapes.

Its glossy dark green leaves with soft pale undersides provide a lovely contrast and softness in the garden, while the smooth bark marked with streaks of grey, yellow, and orange adds seasonal texture and unique character. From late spring to summer, Dwarf Sugar Gum produces abundant creamy-white flowers that attract native birds, bees, and pollinators, enhancing biodiversity.

Thriving in full sun and adapting well to a wide range of soils, this tree is exceptionally drought-tolerant, wind-resistant, and low maintenance once established. It performs excellently in coastal and dry inland regions, making it a standout choice for diverse planting projects needing a tough, attractive feature tree.

This tree looks excellent in landscapes where durability, shade, and ecological value are desired—whether in formal designs or naturalistic settings.
