Yet again the grafted flowering gums around our town of Naracoorte SA are looking absolutely breathtaking.
This particular one on Rolland Street is in full flower and really is a showstopper. Quite literally, I abandoned my mission to Maccas for a Frappe' to turn around and go back to admire it.
Given the size and vibrant Fuchia Pink colour of this particular tree, it's quite possibly a cultivar called 'Cape Crimson' though I can't be entirely certain with there being so many available. They come in a multitude of colours from fairy floss pink, brilliant orange, creamy soft whites, to the ever popular classic Red flowering gum, something for everyone's palette.
Being grafted they're adaptable, hardy and offer a greater disease resistance.
Varieties range greatly in size from as small as 4 through to 12 meters tall, so there are options for every size garden or yard.
If pink isn't your thing, the red flowering gums are in full flower and generously scattered around our town in yards and sidewalks for all to see.
If you've got a half an hour to spare over the weekend, go for a drive around and admire them, see how many you can find.
Keep cool, have a lovely weekend!
Happy gardening 😘🌳
