Eucalyptus globulus subsp. bicostata
Eucalyptus globulus subsp. bicostata
The Southern Blue Gum is a vigorous fast-growing evergreen tree that thrives in full sun to part shade with regular deep watering during establishment. Once established it develops moderate drought tolerance but performs best with consistent moisture. Prune young trees to shape and site away from structures as roots and canopy can spread significantly.
