Eucalyptus leucoxylon 'Rosea', known as the Pink Flowering Yellow Gum, is a vibrant and elegant Australian native evergreen tree prized for its striking pink to deep rose flowers and graceful rounded canopy.

With smooth, pale bark and glossy lance-shaped leaves, this fast-growing tree adds sculptural beauty year-round.

How to Plant Eucalyptus leucoxylon 'Rosea' (Pink Flowering Yellow Gum)

Twice as wide and as deep as the root ball.

Position the tree so the top of the root ball is level with the ground. Backfill with native soil and water well.

Apply 5–7cm of organic mulch around the base, keeping it clear of the trunk.

Water regularly during establishment—reduce frequency as the tree matures.
