Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Fuchsia Gum - Eucalyptus forrestiana
One of Western Australia's most visually striking small eucalypts, Eucalyptus forrestiana delivers an intense burst of red through winter and spring when most species offer little. Compact in scale but commanding in presence, it earns its place on prestige properties where space is considered and impact is non-negotiable.
Why Fuchsia Gum
Winter-to-spring colour: Vivid fuchsia-red blooms provide bold seasonal interest during the months most trees are dormant.
Refined scale: Reaching 3 to 5 metres, it suits tight sites and curated planting schemes without compromising visual weight.
Native provenance: Naturally adapted to Australian conditions; low water demand once established and highly tolerant of exposed, free-draining sites.
Fauna value: A reliable draw for nectivorous birds, supporting biodiversity on ecologically considered projects.
Low intervention: Performs without supplementary fertilising or intensive maintenance post-establishment.
Ideal Applications
Specimen planting: A single established tree commands attention as a seasonal focal point within a composed landscape.
Constrained sites: Delivers the character of a native eucalypt where full-canopy species are not viable.
Coastal and exposed properties: Well suited to free-draining soils and wind-exposed conditions common to coastal projects.
Ecology-led design: Integrates naturally into native planting schemes where habitat value is a design brief requirement.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 2 to 3m
Spacing (feature/avenue): 3 to 5m
Best Planting Season: Autumn to spring
Soil & Drainage: Well-drained soils; tolerates sandy and loamy soils; drought tolerant once established
Establishment Care: Water regularly for the first 12 months to establish a deep root system, then reduce to occasional deep watering during dry periods. Avoid overwatering or poorly drained conditions, which can lead to root rot.
