Tree | Eucalyptus victrix Western Coolibah, Little Ghost Gum |
Description | This is a small ornamental native tree made famous by the lyrics of 'Waltzing Matilda'. It has a smooth white trunk and glaucous, bluish-green leaves. In summer, flowers are cream in colour and relatively small. This tree is usually grown for its attractive white trunk and irregular form, so would make a lovely feature tree in the right setting. Bird and insect attracting. |
Foliage | Evergreen |
Form | Round |
Mature Size | 12m x 8m |
Uses | As a feature tree particularly in a native inspired garden. Great for small residential and commercial projects due to its compact height. Where there's space, plant in multiples for a bushland effect. |
Position & Soil | This tree is suited to most soil types but prefers a free-draining soil in a full sun position. Water well at the time of planting and over its first summer. Once established it should only require supplementary watering during extended dry periods. |
