Flowering Gum

Description

Meet our gorgeous small tree, perfect for sunny spots! It's a beauty with large, glossy leaves that have a lovely light green reverse - and get this, its new leaves turn reddish in the warmer months! This tree is a real showstopper when it comes to flowers, with an amazing terminal display of huge pink blooms followed by adorable gum nuts. As for growing conditions, this little guy prefers well-drained soil and plenty of sunshine. And don't worry if you live in a humid area - it's actually grafted, so it can handle those rainy days just fine! Just one thing to keep in mind: the large gum nuts that grow from these trees can be a bit of a tripping hazard when they drop, so be sure to clear the area around your tree.
