Eucalyptus leucoxylon rosea 'Scarlet' – a select form of the popular E. leucoxylon rosea, is one variety of the company’s semi-advanced grafted gum tree range, which are hand grafted onto specially selected rootstocks that limits mature size, guarantees flower colour and enables planting in a wide range of conditions.

Highlights and Features

• Compact mature size (8 x 4 metres)
• Uniform growth and habit
• Profuse deep scarlet flowers throughout autumn and winter
• Bird attracting
• Decorative bark
• Wide environmental tolerances
• Extremely useful in both domestic and commercial landscapes

Eucalyptus leucoxylon ‘Scarlet’ is a reliable performer and has wide environmental tolerances, making it well suited for street or parkland plantings. A uniform habit and predictable mature size makes it also appropriate for domestic and commercial landscape use.

‘Scarlet’ is a small to medium tree, 8 metres heigh by 4 metres wide, and can tolerate a range of conditions, performing best under full sun in well-drained soil.  It has a rounded open canopy making it a perfect specimen or shade tree. An outstanding flowering period from autumn to spring makes ‘Scarlet’ a bird attracting winter wonder and a perfect addition to any native garden.

Grafting also takes away the issue of foliage variation that often can be a problem with seed grown forms. Like other leucoxylon varieties, ‘Scarlet’ maintains its decorative bark.

Botanix Plant Supply has supplied ‘Scarlet’ to a number of residential, local government and commercial developments, evaluating its success over a number of years.

Botanix have a great range if stock in 35L air-pruned containers available now, with 70L soon to be ready.
