Red-flowering Gum

The Red-flowering Gum is one of Australias most spectacularly showy native trees, growing into a sturdy, rounded specimen between 6 and 10 meters tall. In summer, it puts on an unforgettable, breathtaking display by producing massive, dense terminal clusters of brilliant, fiery scarlet-to-crimson flowers highlighted by golden pollen tips. It thrives in open, sunny positions with good drainage, serving as an unmatched structural focal point that acts as a primary summer feast for honeyeaters.
