Cabbage Gum

Eucalyptus amplifolia, commonly known as Cabbage Gum, is a tall, fast-growing Australian native tree admired for its broad, spreading canopy and smooth, pale bark that ranges from creamy white to soft grey and green. Native to the eastern regions of Australia, it thrives in a variety of conditions, particularly in moist or riparian environments. The tree’s broad, glossy green leaves are larger than those of many other eucalypt species—hence the common name "Cabbage Gum." During the warmer months, it produces clusters of small, creamy-white flowers, followed by woody gumnuts that provide habitat and food for native wildlife. With its generous shade, graceful form, and ecological value, Cabbage Gum is an excellent choice for large gardens, rural properties, and habitat restoration projects.
