Eucalyptus Mannifera (Red Spotted Gum)
Eucalyptus Mannifera, commonly known as Red Spotted Gum, is a striking Australian native tree renowned for its smooth, mottled bark that sheds to reveal shades of cream, grey, and red, creating a unique visual appeal. Its narrow, lance-shaped green leaves offer a lush canopy, while small, white flowers bloom in summer, attracting birds, bees, and other pollinators. This hardy and drought-tolerant tree is ideal for large gardens, parks, and streetscapes where its elegant form and shade-providing canopy can be fully appreciated.
Red Spotted Gum is an excellent choice for adding texture and colour to native landscapes and thrives in a range of soil types, making it versatile and low-maintenance.
