Eucalyptus forrestiana, commonly known as Fuchsia Gum, is a stunning ornamental tree ideal for garden landscapes, parks, and roadside plantings. This small, fast-growing tree reaches a height of 12 to 20 feet with a rounded canopy spanning 10 to 15 feet. Its narrow blue-green evergreen foliage and smooth, summer-peeling bark add year-round charm. In summer, the tree bursts into a colorful spectacle with pendulous, fuchsia-colored buds that open to reveal golden yellow flowers. These blooms are aromatic and attract birds, providing both food and habitat. Following the flowers are decorative red seed capsules, adding further visual interest.

Adapted to arid, subcoastal climates, Fuchsia Gum thrives in well-drained sandy soils. It withstands drought, light frost, and limited waterlogging, making it a resilient choice for challenging environments. Its salt tolerance enhances its versatility for various settings. Known for combating wind erosion, this species is beneficial as a windbreak. The vibrant flowers and fruits serve beautifully as cut floral arrangements, offering an appealing touch to any occasion.
