Eucalyptus Euky Dwarf™

Every garden should have its own Euky Dwarf !

This slender little tree grows easily in small or large gardens, parklands or as a street tree (up to 6 metres high x 3 - 5 metres wide). It has a light open canopy of fine foliage, and bears masses of deep pink, red or occasionally cream blossom from late autumn to early summer, easily spanning six or more months of flowering.  It is regarded as one of the most reliable, hardy and adaptable little trees for gardens everywhere, and is second to none in its ability to sustain a crowd of honeyeaters as a non-stop feeding  station.

It thrives in cool temperate, sub-tropical and semi-arid climates, in well drained clay or sandy loams, neutral to acid pH. It loves full sun or light shade, is extremely frost hardy and will do equally well in coastal and inland gardens.

Uses:  A perfect selection for small gardens (and there is not a garden anywhere that cannot be enhanced by at least one small tree for the birds), for streetscapes, and for planting in groups in broad scale landscapes.  Consider a copse planting, and if scale and space permit, visualise a series of groups along a driveway, or create a distant suggestion of a small woodland.

Maintenance: feed with controlled release low phosphorus fertilizer around the root zone in early spring or late summer.   It would be rare to ever need to prune Euky Dwarf, but careful trimming of branches may be undertaken if necessary.
