Corymbia callophyla Rosea
Corymbia calophylla rosea is a striking ornamental gum tree, known for its profusion of soft pink, fluffy flowers blooming through summer and autumn, followed by large, decorative seed capsules. This hardy and versatile tree is perfect for large gardens, parks, roadsides, and rural plantings, providing excellent shade and shelter, even in windy, exposed sites.
A magnet for birdlife, its vibrant blooms add seasonal charm to any landscape. Corymbia calophylla rosea thrives best in a sunny, open position with moist, well-drained soil but can tolerate some shade. It is resilient to short periods of dryness, urban pollution, and light frost. However, it is best to avoid planting in poorly drained or waterlogged soils.
This fast-growing, low-maintenance tree reaches a mature height of approximately 25 meters and a width of 13 meters, making it an ideal choice for large-scale landscapes and natural windbreaks.
