The scent is like minty honey. Rather pleasing really. Birds and bees love them.Lovely tree! Excuse my ignorance, but is it scented? To me, the best trees not only have beautiful foliage to please the eye, but scents to please the nose, but that's not always the case. Glad you enjoyed the moment!
I salute your iron stomach.Yes, I enjoy their coffee.
It is a Eucalyptus tree.It is a eucalyptus, my son is allergic to eucalyptus, so I'm glad it is in Australia.
You also get red flowering gums in the tablelands of the Great Dividing Range, but probably not the same ones.Endemic only to South West Western Australia
They can be grown in pots.You also get red flowering gums in the tablelands of the Great Dividing Range, but probably not the same ones.
My dad loved them and tried to grow one in the backyard but the soil was too clayey and it did not thrive.
After he died I wanted to grow one in remembrance but I couldn't find a red one at the nursery so I settled on a pink one. Bad mistake, it was a Tasmanian blue gum, one of Australia's tallest trees. I planted it near the side fence where I could watch it grow as I looked out of my kitchen window.
And grow it did, like Jack's beanstalk. Underneath its roots was the main sewer line that ran through the backyards of neighbours houses. Inevitably it caused blockages as its roots invaded the line, so it had to be taken out.
I now have a red one on the nature strip in front of the house but it is suffering from the same clay soil that caused problems for Dad.
O well, at least I tried.
Yes, I agree. My preference is Burger King!I salute your iron stomach.
