Eucalyptus formanii
Forman's Eucalyptus
Description
Forman's Eucalyptus is a medium-sized tree that can reach up to 35' tall by 25' wide, but usually smaller. Leaves are lance-shaped, evergreen, and pale green in color. Creamy-white flowers cover this plant from spring through summer. This Australian native is extremely tolerant of drought and heat, and will grow best in full sun. Great for use in a patio or backyard, while other Eucalyptus species will get too large.
