Eucalyptus torquata |
+ Add |
Coral Gum |
This variety of Eucalyptus is smaller than other species, growing to 20' tall. Leaves can vary a great deal. Lantern shaped buds precede the coral red or yellow flowers. Flowers appear winter through spring and make good cut flowers. Branches, which are cinnamon-colored, make wonderful arrangements. If planted in groves, the effect is stunning, especially with new branch growth which starts green and turns blue green. This variety is sun, drought and shade tolerant.

Different areas of your landscape have different water requirements.
Shrubs need much less water than lawns and drip systems should never be scheduled on the same program with lawns.
Establish separate watering schedules for those areas.
