Flooded-gum is an exceptionally fast-growing eucalyptus tree best suited to large outdoor spaces in warm, frost-light climates. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, and once established it becomes quite drought tolerant. Be aware of its vigorous root system and large mature size — give it ample space away from structures and underground utilities.
