    Eucalyptus Types

    • Single trunk

      • Trees usually have a single main stem or trunk but many eucalypts are mallees that are multi stemmed from ground level and rarely taller than 10 meters (33 feet).

    • Mallee

      • Eucalyptus grossa is also known as the Coarse-Leaved Mallee because it has really thick leathery leaves. It's an attractive plant with beautiful reddish flower buds opening to bright yellow flowers, and afterwards it produces interesting fruit.
