Eucalyptus tereticornis, known as Forest Red Gum, is a fast-growing, majestic Australian native tree celebrated for its smooth, white to light grey bark that peels away in delicate curls. Reaching impressive heights of 20 to 50 meters with a broad canopy spread of 15 to 35 meters, it creates a natural, graceful canopy ideal for shade, windbreaks, and wildlife habitat.

Its glossy, lance-shaped green leaves and abundant white flowers from spring to summer attract a variety of birds, enhancing biodiversity wherever it’s planted. Adapted to full sun, Forest Red Gum thrives in a range of conditions—tolerant to drought, floods, and frost—with low maintenance requirements.

This tree looks excellent in large parks, open landscapes, and rural settings, offering strength, beauty, and a living connection to Australia's unique natural heritage that resonates deeply with anyone who values resilient and impactful greenery.

How to Plant Eucalyptus Teriticornis

How to Plant Eucalyptus tereticornis

  • Site Selection: Choose a location with well-draining soil, preferably in an open, sunny spot.
  • Soil Preparation: While E. tereticornis is adaptable to a range of soil types, it thrives in slightly acidic to neutral soils. Incorporating some compost or organic matter can be beneficial.
  • Hole Digging: Dig a hole roughly twice the size of the root ball or container.
  • Planting: Gently remove the tree from its container, place it in the hole, ensuring it stands upright. Fill the hole with soil, press down gently, and water thoroughly.
