which tree to buy

California, United States

I want to plant 2 eucalyptus trees in my park way that are not too big, but would love to have the white, grey, rainbow bark and flowers if possible. Maybe 20-30 feet tall. What about the coral gum tree. Any help would be great. You can contact me at gary1114@verizon.net. Thank you in advance. gary

Hi Gary,

I would suggest Eucalyptus torquata - the coral gum. This is a medium to small tree with beautiful little flowers and hails from Western Australia. Also from the west is Eucalyptus caesia (do not know if it will grow there but this is a very fancy small tree.

See: http://asgap.org.au/ for excellent advice for growing australian native plants.

I have posted my only pic of this small tree - I'll post a better one a little later.
