Eucalyptus caesia magna

A spectacular small tree associated with granite outcrops. The bark is typically reddish curling off in longitudinal strands to expose smooth greenish brown bark underneath, whilst bark on the upper branches are mealy white colour along with the buds and fruit. It is a slender, open tree with a weeping habit and autumn/winter pink/red flowers that are pendulant and normally grouped in threes. A delightful tree, especially when clumped in groups of three or four, that is rare and endangered in its native locations, but has been suitably cultivated throughout the Western Austalian south-west. Tolerant of extended dry periods once established, prefers well-drained soil in full sun.
