PLANT PROFILE

Eucalyptus leucoxylon ssp. megalocarpa, known as the Large-fruited Yellow Gum, is a vibrant and resilient Australian native evergreen tree prized for its spectacular pink to red blossoms from autumn through early winter. Growing 10–15 meters tall with a 5–10 meter wide open, spreading canopy, it adds color, structure, and ecological value to gardens, parks, and urban landscapes.

Its glossy, aromatic foliage and attractive bark complement its stunning seasonal flowers, while its adaptability to drought, frost, and various soils makes it a reliable, low-maintenance choice. The Large-fruited Yellow Gum looks excellent when you want a show-stopping floral display combined with habitat benefits and year-round greenery, perfect for feature planting, streetscapes, or native garden projects.

How to Plant Eucalyptus leucoxylon ssp megalocarpa

Site Selection: While adaptable to a range of soil conditions, well-drained soil is preferable.

Soil Preparation: Mix in organic compost or manure to enrich the soil, promoting healthy growth.

Hole Digging: Prepare a hole that's approximately twice the size of the root ball.

Planting: Place the tree in the hole, making sure it's level. Fill in the hole, tamp down the soil, and water generously.

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.
