Evergreen · Full Sun
Mature size: 8m–12m high × 5m–10m wide
A smooth powdery-white trunk that sheds and renews through the year, so it stays bright rather than weathering grey. Combined with a modest 8 to 12 metre size, it is one of the few gums that genuinely suits a suburban block or a street.

Eucalyptus scoparia, the Wallangarra White Gum, is one of the best-behaved gums for a suburban block. The trunk is smooth and powdery white, shedding through the year to keep the colour clean, and it carries a broad open crown of narrow glossy leaves that hang with a slight weep.
It reaches around 8 to 12 metres tall and 5 to 10 metres wide, which is modest for a eucalypt. That size, plus the light dappled shade it throws rather than dense cover, is why it turns up so often in streetscapes, avenues and medium to large gardens where a bigger gum would be too much.
Small white flowers appear through spring and summer, followed by little oval gum nuts. The flowers bring nectar-feeding birds and insects, and the canopy gives shelter, so it earns its place as a habitat tree as well as a feature.
It comes from poor gravelly country on the Queensland and New South Wales border and is tougher than the white trunk suggests. It handles heat, dry conditions, compacted urban soil and most soil types, provided drainage is reasonable.
About Eucalyptus scoparia
An Australian native evergreen gum known as the Wallangarra White Gum, named for the Wallangarra district on the Queensland and New South Wales border where it occurs naturally. It is grown for its smooth powdery-white trunk, narrow glossy foliage and manageable size.
Around 8 to 12 metres tall and 5 to 10 metres wide, with a broad open crown. That is small for a eucalypt, which is the main reason it suits suburban blocks and street planting where most gums outgrow the space.
The bark is smooth and sheds through the year, peeling away to expose fresh powdery white to pale grey underneath. Because it renews itself the trunk stays clean and bright rather than weathering to dull grey, which is what makes it such a strong feature against dark foliage or a dark wall.
Yes, it is one of the more commonly specified gums for streetscapes and avenues. The medium height, open crown and tolerance of compacted urban soil all suit it to the job, and the dappled shade it casts allows planting underneath.
Small white flowers appear through spring and summer, followed by small oval seed capsules. The flowers are a nectar source for honeyeaters, lorikeets and native insects.
Light dappled shade rather than dense cover, because of the narrow leaves and open crown. That is an advantage in a garden, as lawn and understorey planting will still grow beneath it, unlike under a heavily shading tree.
It grows naturally on poor gravelly soils, so it is undemanding and copes with most soil types including compacted urban ground. Full sun and reasonable drainage are what it wants. It handles heat and dry conditions well once established.
Water deeply through the first two summers to establish, then only in extended dry spells. Use a low-phosphorus native fertiliser, as eucalypts resent high-phosphorus blends. Formative pruning in the first few years sets a good single leader and clear trunk. Avoid heavy pruning of established trees.

Yes
Eucalyptus scoparia – Wallangarra White Gum is Native to A small natural range around Wallangarra on the Queensland and New South Wales border, where it grows on poor gravelly granite soils. Rare in the wild but widely propagated and planted, and that harsh home country is the source of its tolerance of heat, drought and poor ground.
The spring and summer flowers of Eucalyptus scoparia provide nectar for honeyeaters, lorikeets and native insects. The open canopy offers perching and shelter, and mature trees develop the hollows and loose bark that small birds and microbats use, which is why the species is valued in habitat and biodiversity planting.
Eucalyptus scoparia – Wallangarra White Gum will thrive best in:
Eucalyptus scoparia grows naturally on poor gravelly granite soils, so it is undemanding and tolerates most soil types including compacted urban ground. Reasonable drainage is the main requirement. Use a low-phosphorus native fertiliser, as eucalypts are sensitive to the high-phosphorus blends sold for general garden use.
Is Eucalyptus scoparia – Wallangarra White Gum Drought tolerant?
Water Eucalyptus scoparia deeply through its first two summers to establish a root system. After that it is strongly drought tolerant and handles extended heat and dry spells without supplementary water. It also copes with compacted urban soil, which is one reason it performs where other trees fail in street plantings.

Trachelospermum jasminoides 'Balls' is Star Jasmine grown and clipped into a dense evergreen sphere. The small glossy leaves sit tight on a woody framework, holding a clean rounded outline year round. White pinwheel flowers open in spring and carry a strong sweet scent right across a courtyard.
Ball specimens hold at about 1 to 1.5 metres tall and wide with light clipping. Full sun to part shade suits them, in any free draining soil. Growth is slow to moderate at 30 to 50 centimetres a year. They handle coastal exposure, light frost and dry spells once the roots are down.
Repeat them along a driveway, either side of an entry, or in pots on a terrace where a formal shape is wanted straight away. They read as structure in a planting scheme without the height of a hedge, and because the form is already trained, a new garden looks settled from the day it goes in.
About Star Jasmine Balls
They are Trachelospermum jasminoides, the common Star Jasmine, grown and clipped into a dense evergreen sphere on a woody framework. Instead of climbing, the plant is trained into a self supporting rounded shape. The foliage is small, glossy and dark green, and the plant carries scented white flowers through spring.
They hold at roughly 1 to 1.5 metres tall and 1 to 1.5 metres wide. Growth is slow to moderate at 30 to 50 centimetres a year, so a light clip once or twice a year keeps the ball tight at whatever size within that range suits the setting.
Full sun to part shade both work. Full sun gives the densest foliage and the heaviest flowering, while part shade produces slightly softer, more open growth and fewer flowers. Avoid deep shade, where the ball thins out and loses its outline. Morning sun with afternoon protection suits hot inland gardens.
Yes, and pots are one of the main uses. A container 50 to 60 centimetres wide with a quality free draining mix will hold a ball for years. Water more often than you would in the ground, especially in summer, and feed in spring and again in late summer. Refresh the mix every few years.
Yes, the foliage is held year round. The glossy dark green leaves take on a bronze tinge in cold weather and green up again in spring, but the plant never goes bare. That is what makes it useful as permanent structure in a scheme, particularly in winter once perennials have died back.
Flowering runs through spring, roughly September to November, and often carries into early summer in warmer districts. The white pinwheel flowers are small but produced in quantity, and the scent is strong on still evenings. Flowering is heaviest on plants in full sun that were not clipped hard just before bud set.
Clip lightly with hedging shears once after flowering and again in late summer if needed, taking only the new growth to keep the outline crisp. Water deeply in dry weather, mulch the base, and feed in early spring. The sap is milky and can irritate skin, so wear gloves when trimming.
Westringia fruticosa, Coastal Rosemary, is an Australian native evergreen shrub from the headlands and dunes of the east coast. It builds a dense rounded bush of fine grey green leaves held in whorls, with small white to pale lilac flowers. Despite the common name it is not the culinary herb.
Mature plants sit at 1.5 to 2 metres tall and 1.5 to 2 metres wide, growing 30 to 60 centimetres a year, and they clip smaller without complaint. Full sun to part shade and sharp drainage are the requirements. Salt wind, sandy soil, drought and light to moderate frost are all handled.
It is a standard on coastal projects, road verges, council garden beds and exposed banks that need erosion cover. Plant 1 to 1.5 metres apart for an informal screen, or 80 centimetres for a clipped hedge. A single plant fills a 40 to 50 centimetre pot on a courtyard or balcony.
About Coastal Rosemary
Westringia fruticosa is an Australian native evergreen shrub from the headlands and dunes of the east coast. It forms a dense rounded bush of fine grey green leaves held in whorls, with small white to pale lilac flowers. Despite the common name it is not culinary rosemary and is not used in cooking.
Mature plants reach 1.5 to 2 metres tall and 1.5 to 2 metres wide. It clips readily to smaller dimensions and is often maintained at around a metre as a hedge or a low mound. Growth is moderate, roughly 30 to 60 centimetres a year, so it holds a trimmed shape well.
It is one of the best shrubs available for exposed coastal work. It grows naturally on sea cliffs and copes with salt laden wind, sand and reflected heat. It is used constantly on beachfront reserves, dune stabilisation projects and seaside gardens where little else holds a tidy shape.
The main flush is spring and summer, roughly September through February, with scattered flowering at other times of the year in mild districts. The flowers are small, white to pale lilac and sit among the foliage rather than above it. Clipped hedges flower less than plants left to grow informally.
Space plants 80 centimetres apart for a tight formal hedge, or 1 to 1.5 metres apart for a dense informal screen. On banks and batters used for erosion cover, 1 metre in a staggered grid gives full ground coverage within about two growing seasons.
Yes. A pot 40 to 50 centimetres wide suits a single plant for a courtyard, entry or balcony. Use a free draining mix, because the roots will not tolerate sitting wet. Container plants need watering more often than those in the ground, plus a light trim to hold their shape.
Trim lightly two or three times a year, taking the soft new growth and avoiding cuts into bare old wood, which reshoots poorly. Water through the first summer, then only in extended dry spells. On most soils it needs no feeding at all, and it resents heavy watering and poor drainage.
Westringia 'Wynyabbie Blue' is a hardy Australian native shrub grown for its lilac blue flowers, which are larger and more freely carried than those of the common white forms. Narrow grey green leaves sit in neat whorls on a dense rounded frame that holds its shape through the year.
Expect 1.5 to 2 metres in height and width at maturity, at 30 to 60 centimetres a year. Full sun brings the heaviest flowering, though part shade is accepted. Drainage matters above everything else, after which it takes salt wind, sandy or gravelly ground, drought and light to moderate frost.
Mass plantings on batters, median strips and coastal frontages are where it earns its keep, and it clips into a low hedge of about a metre without losing its flowering. Plant 1 to 1.5 metres apart for an informal screen. One plant fills a 40 to 50 centimetre pot neatly.
About Wynyabbie Blue Coastal Rosemary
Westringia 'Wynyabbie Blue' is a hardy Australian native shrub grown for its lilac blue flowers, which are larger and more freely carried than those of the common white forms. Narrow grey green leaves sit in neat whorls on a dense rounded frame. It is evergreen and holds its structure all year.
It reaches 1.5 to 2 metres tall and 1.5 to 2 metres wide at maturity, growing 30 to 60 centimetres a year. It clips comfortably to around a metre if you want a lower hedge, and it will hold that height indefinitely given two or three light trims a year.
From spring right through autumn, roughly September to May, with sporadic flowers in winter in mild districts. The lilac blue flowers open in flushes rather than all at once, so there is usually some colour on the plant. Flowering is heaviest in full sun on lean, well drained soil.
Yes. Once the roots are established it needs very little water and copes with extended dry periods, which is why it is used on unirrigated median strips and road verges. Drainage matters more than watering, since the plant will die in soggy ground long before it dies of thirst.
It is. Salt laden wind, sandy soils and reflected heat are all handled, and it is planted routinely on foreshore reserves and beachside gardens. In very exposed frontal positions the plant stays lower and denser than it would inland, which generally suits the situation anyway.
Use 80 centimetres between plants for a clipped formal hedge, or 1 to 1.5 metres for a dense informal screen. For mass planting on banks and median strips, 1 metre in a staggered pattern gives full coverage within about two growing seasons and shades out most weeds.
Trim lightly after each flowering flush, taking soft growth only. Cutting back into bare old wood leaves gaps that will not fill in, so stay on top of it rather than letting it get away. Water through the first summer, then rarely. Avoid rich soils and heavy fertiliser.
