The Details

Eucalyptus Grandis - Flooded Gum Profile

Eucalyptus grandis, commonly known as Flooded Gum, is a majestic, fast-growing Australian native tree prized for its striking smooth white trunk and upright form. Growing 30–50 metres tall, it makes a bold statement in large-scale landscapes, forestry, and revegetation projects where rapid canopy development and vertical presence are essential.

The smooth, powdery white bark peels seasonally to reveal soft grey or pink undertones, adding year-round visual interest. Its long, lance-shaped green leaves form an open, airy canopy that provides filtered shade and supports native wildlife. Summer brings clusters of small white flowers that attract bees and pollinators, boosting biodiversity.

Flooded Gum thrives in deep, fertile, well-drained soils, especially in moist environments such as creeks and floodplains. It is not suited for confined or dry landscapes due to its size and water needs, but it excels in rural properties, erosion control, and carbon planting projects.

This tree looks excellent when you want a commanding, elegant feature that combines ecological value with rapid growth and low maintenance — perfect for bold, naturalistic landscapes.

Plant Spacing Recommendations

Hedging & Screening: Not suitable.

Feature Tree: 6 m – 10 m apart for full-size forest tree growth.

Avenue Planting Trees: 8 m – 12 m for spacious landscapes.

Planting Guide

How to Plant Eucalyptus Grandis - Flooded Gum

Planting Tips: Ensuring a Strong Start

Site Selection:

Choose a location in full sun with deep, fertile, and well-drained soil. Avoid planting near buildings or power lines due to the tree’s mature height.

Digging the Hole:

Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and of equal depth. This encourages lateral root spread and helps establish stability.

Soil Preparation:

Loosen the surrounding soil. If the native soil is poor, amend it with compost to improve fertility and structure. Avoid over-fertilizing at planting.

Planting:

Place the tree in the hole so that the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill gently and firm the soil to eliminate air pockets.

Watering In:

Water thoroughly immediately after planting to help settle the soil around the roots.

Mulching:

Apply a 5–7 cm thick mulch layer around the base (but not touching the trunk) to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and moderate soil temperature.

Root Ball Dimensions (Width × Depth) For Planting

Use this as a reference when digging your planting hole. We recommend digging at least 10% wider than the dimensions below to encourage strong root development.
