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.

Water Saving Tip:

Even during our hottest months we don't need to water daily.

Give your plants a chance to breathe.

Water late at night or in the early morning hours to avoid losses to wind and evaporation.
