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:

Different areas of your landscape have different water requirements.

Shrubs need much less water than lawns and drip systems should never be scheduled on the same program with lawns.

Establish separate watering schedules for those areas.
