Discover the enchanting elegance of Eucalyptus leucoxylon ssp. megalocarpa, commonly known as Large-fruited Yellow Gum. This captivating small tree, hailing from the iconic landscapes of southern Australia, features a spreading but compact habit, making it an ideal ornamental addition to parks, reserves, and wider verges. Its vibrant blooms, varying from cream to striking reds and pinks, transform any setting in spring, summer, and winter. As a member of the Myrtaceae family, its large, decorative fruit and smooth trunk add allure to any landscape design.

Designed to thrive in warm and cool temperate climates, this resilient species loves full sun and adapts to various soil types, from sandy loams to clay. Its evergreen foliage provides a serene grey-green backdrop, attracting a medley of wildlife, including bees, nectar-eating birds, and butterflies, who flock to its nectar-rich flowers. Though virtually maintenance-free, it's essential to plant them at least 10 ft away from sewer infrastructure. Whether for erosion control, street tree applications, or as a honey-producing haven, Large-fruited Yellow Gum is a versatile and durable choice for low-maintenance, drought-tolerant, and coastal gardens.
