Candle Bark Gum (Pr Pkt) ■●җ җ
Eucalyptus rubida is a beautiful tree, not quite so hardy as the others but nevertheless surviving frosts to about minus 12°C with just a few burnt leaves. The new growth in spring has a lovely lilac tint as you can see from the photograph and as the weather cools down the older leaves can take on quite a reddish hue. The young deep red stems are also quite glossy which adds to the overall attraction.
