Description
'Eucalyptus- Round Leaved Mallee' seeds
Eucalyptus orbifolia
NOT TO WA, SA & TAS
- Multistemmed tree to 8m
- Foliage suited to floristry
- Ornamental 'minni ritchie' bark
Large shrub or small tree to 8m growing with the multiple stems typical of mallee eucalypts. The silver grey leaves are oval to heart-shaped and 2.5-4cm long; they can be used as a foliage filler in bouquets and other floristry. Flowers are creamy white to pale yellow and bloom in winter and spring. The ornamental 'minni ritchi' bark is reddish brown, continuously peeling and curling to expose the lighter coloured bark on the trunk. Attracts birds.
Native to arid regions in western and central australia, and best suited to areas with dry summers with low humidity. Can be grown in a large container to restrict its height. Also known as 'Disc-leaf Mallee'.
Note: Seeds of many native plants are dormant and will not germinate until ideal environmental conditions are met. Follow instructions for pre-treatment and sowing, and be patient; some wild harvested seeds can take much longer to germinate than expected.
