Eucalyptus websteriana subsp. websteriana
Webster’s Mallee
A rocky outcrop loving mallee growing from 2 - 6m that wears its heart on its leaves.
This mallee offers layers of attractiveness making it a one-stop-shop for those looking for a feature tree.
The peeling minnirichi bark provides a textural element to the red-brown trunk while cream to pale lemon-yellow flowers appear in spring to early summer. Fruits are persistent adding a decorative element to the overall appeal.
