Description

Salmon gum is an upright tree with an open growth habit, and will reach an eventual size of 60-100' tall by 40' wide, although they tend to stay smaller in arid conditions. Smooth, salmon-colored bark provides interest year-round. Trees are heat and drought tolerant, and can survive in most any type of soil. Slow growing. Moderately salt tolerant.
