About Tristaniopsis laurina 'Luscious' - Watergum - DECEMBER SALE
Tristaniopsis laurina ‘Luscious’ / Watergum Trees looks excellent when used as a structured feature tree or street tree in urban and coastal landscapes. Its compact, upright form with dense, glossy evergreen foliage and striking copper-bronze new growth creates year-round visual interest and clean architectural lines.
Growing 7–10 meters tall with a 4–5 meter spread, it thrives in full sun to part shade and tolerates coastal exposure, urban pollution, and moderate drought. Its fragrant yellow flowers in late spring to summer add seasonal appeal.
