A slender single-trunked small tree or multi-stemmed mallee (4-5m H x 2-3m W), with clear trunk and branches, and a narrow upright habit.  Leaves are small, narrow, mid-green, filtering harsh summer light but allowing plentiful winter light.  Creamy white fluffy flowers are massed across the canopy from summer to autumn, very rich in nectar and attracting many honeyeaters.  It is hardy in cool temperate to sub tropical and semi arid climates.  Honey Pots loves full sun or light shade; grows in well drained clay loam or sandy and/or stoney soils; acid to alkaline pH.  It’s frost tolerant and grows well in coastal sites.

Uses: plant singly or in groups for an interesting landscape effect.  It’s an ideal small street tree, and perfect for screening in confined areas.  It makes a great combination with other small eucalypts such as Summer Scentsation (yellow) and Euky Dwarf (crimson).

Maintenance: minimal attention required, and height and density can be adjusted by pruning if required.  A small quantity of low phosphorus, controlled release fertilizer may be added at time of planting, but minimal feeding or watering needed once established.
