Learn About Your New Eucalyptus leucoxylon megalocarpa - Large-fruited Yellow
Eucalyptus leucoxylon ssp. megalocarpa, commonly known as the Large-fruited Yellow Gum, is an adaptable Australian native evergreen tree prized for its vibrant flowering display and resilience in a wide range of landscape settings. This subspecies is especially valued for its larger, showy flowers, which appear in striking shades of pink to red from autumn through early winter, making it a seasonal highlight in any garden or streetscape.
With a medium-sized form and an open, spreading canopy, it brings colour, structure, and ecological value to parks, urban plantings, and native gardens. Its glossy, aromatic foliage, attractive bark, and ability to thrive in challenging conditions have made it a reliable choice for landscapers seeking impact and performance.
Highly tolerant of drought, frost, and variable soil conditions, Eucalyptus leucoxylon ssp. megalocarpa also supports local birdlife and pollinators, adding habitat value to its many design benefits.
