Learn About Your New Tristaniopsis laurina 'Luscious' - Watergum
Tristaniopsis laurina ‘Luscious’ is a refined, evergreen Australian native tree selected for its compact growth habit, rich foliage, and suitability to urban environments. A cultivar of the Water Gum, it features glossy, dark green leaves, vibrant copper-bronze new growth, and fragrant yellow flowers that bloom in clusters from late spring through summer.
Growing to approximately 7–10 metres high and 4–5 metres wide, ‘Luscious’ offers strong canopy form and a clean trunk, making it highly suited for use as a street tree, feature tree, or informal screen. Its dense foliage provides consistent shade and structure year-round, while the ornamental bark and leaf colour add visual depth.
This variety is low maintenance, handles light pruning well, and is drought tolerant once established. It performs across a wide range of soil types and is particularly well suited to coastal gardens, urban landscapes, nature strips, and courtyard plantings.
