PLANT PROFILE

Corymbia ficifolia ‘Precious’ is a compact grafted flowering gum adored for its masses of luminous pink-red flowers and dense, rounded canopy. Flowering from summer through autumn, it produces an abundance of vibrant blooms that attract birds, bees, and other pollinators. The dark green foliage contrasts beautifully with the clusters of bright flowers, while the smooth bark provides year-round visual interest. Mature trees typically grow 3–4 metres tall and 3 metres wide, forming a symmetrical, compact shape ideal for small gardens or urban landscapes.

This hardy Australian native thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. Corymbia ficifolia ‘Precious’ is drought tolerant once established and performs equally well in coastal or inland environments. It’s low-maintenance, lightly frost tolerant, and grafted for reliability and consistent flower colour. This ensures dependable performance and an even canopy for both residential and civic plantings.

They look excellent as feature trees in courtyards or front gardens, planted in groups for a colourful display, or used in avenues and nature strips. Their vivid flowers, compact growth, and adaptability make them one of the most desirable small native trees for modern landscapes.
