Fuchsia Gum / Forrest's Marlock

Forrest's Marlock is a spectacular, small native tree growing 3 to 5 meters tall with a tight, neat, rounded canopy. It stands out dramatically due to its large, smooth, pendulous flower buds that turn a brilliant, fiery red-to-crimson color before opening to reveal short, bright yellow stamens in summer. It is highly drought-hardy, handles light frosts, and serves as an outstanding, high-impact small specimen tree or decorative screening plant for suburban and rural gardens.
