Corymbia maculata – Spotted Gum Pure Seed x 300 (bulk)

A native of Queensland and New South Wales, this handsome tree has an extensive natural habitat and will grow in all but arid regions.

A tall, evergreen tree growing to 40m (130ft) x 8m (25ft) wide, it prefers light to heavy soils in an open, sunny position. It is drought-resistant but frost tender.

The stem is erect and straight with pendant branches. The bark is smooth, mottled with cream, bluish-grey, pink or red. After the annual shedding of bark, the new bark is a rich salmon colour fading to that described above. Another distinctive feature is the dimpling of the bark year-round.

The flowers are white appearing from winter to spring.

This tree is one of the bloodwoods which have been split off from the Eucalyptus genus to a genus of their own – that of Corymbia.

Offered is a packet of approximately 300 seeds (no chaff) and Grownotes to assist in the cultivation of this easily grown tree.
