Gum Tree's

A few of my the gum trees on my property, some I have planted, some already here.

 

Eucalyptus tetragona - a beautiful straggly mallee

I planted this little guy on the 1st of April, 3 months later he is starting to push through some new growth.

Eucalyptus tetragona

 

 Eucalyptus tetragona or white marlock is a hybrid, I cant seem to find anywhere that will tell me its ultimate height, but I gather its quite small.

 I love the silvery leaves & the gorgeous new growth, by all accounts it should have cream to yellow flowers, we shall see!

 

Oops someone got in the way


Eucalyptus rhodantha

 This is a well established Euc & Im not 100% sure, but going on the time of flowering I think its rodantha, which is indigenous to the Avon area, the leaves & gum nuts are just devine.

rodantha gumnut babies.

 A beautiful big lemon scented gum at the front gate

Eucalyptus citriodora

 Illyarrie, another spectacular West Aussie gum well established next to the lemon scented gum.

Eucalyptus erythrocorys gumnuts

 My new baby illyarrie, their new growth is so pretty & they grow so fast!

Eucalyptus erythrocorys

 the previous photo & next photo are of the same eucalypt, growing on the eastern fence.

there are quite a few of them, Im not sure which one they are, a guess Eucalypt torquata.

Maybe I will be able to tell when they flower.

guessing Eucalypt torquate - coral gum



another on the eastern fence I am unsure of

 My new baby mottlecah - Eucalyptus macrocarpa

this was another gum given to me by my parents for my birthday

cant wait for it to flower, as they have the largest flowers of the genus & are so spectacular.

This little beauty is also a mallee & should grow to approx. 3m

Eucalyptus macrocarpa

 Southern cross mallee was planted on the 25th May & this will grow into a pretty little tree with yellow flowers in summer.

 

Eucalyptus crucis

There are heaps more which I will catalogue as well.
