River Red Gum

Eucalyptus camaldulensis, commonly known as River Red Gum, is one of Australia’s most iconic and widespread eucalypts, typically found lining inland rivers, floodplains, and wetlands. This fast-growing, evergreen tree can reach impressive heights and is admired for its expansive canopy and striking, smooth bark that sheds in patches to reveal a palette of creams, greys, and soft pinks. Its long, narrow, blue-green leaves provide year-round shade and movement, while clusters of small white flowers bloom throughout the year, followed by woody, bell-shaped gumnuts. Highly valued for its adaptability and durability, River Red Gum is ideal for large-scale landscapes, habitat restoration, or as a bold statement tree in rural or spacious garden settings.
