Overview & Specifications
Large Fruited Yellow Gum - Eucalyptus leucoxylon 'Megalocarpa'
A cultivar selected for scale and spectacle, 'Megalocarpa' delivers oversized buds, bold seasonal blooms, and refined native character. At 6 to 10 metres, it commands presence in medium to large landscapes without overwhelming the composition.
Why Large Fruited Yellow Gum
Exceptional flowering display: Oversized buds and prominent blooms set this cultivar apart from standard Yellow Gum selections, delivering a flowering event that reads strongly across large sites.
Refined native form: Grey-green foliage and a well-balanced canopy provide year-round structural interest beyond the flowering season.
Wildlife integration: Nectar-rich flowers draw honeyeaters and pollinators, supporting biodiversity on residential and commercial properties alike.
Drought resilience: Once established, highly tolerant of dry conditions, a reliable performer across a broad range of Australian climates.
Low intervention: Requires no fertilising or supplemental feeding once settled; suited to landscapes where long-term maintenance must be minimised.
Ideal Applications
Specimen feature planting: Positioned as a singular focal point, 'Megalocarpa' anchors a landscape with colour and native scale.
Contemporary native landscapes: Pairs with structured native plantings on prestige residential and commercial projects.
Avenue and grove planting: Mass plantings amplify the flowering impact and create cohesive seasonal colour across open sites.
Biodiversity and habitat design: An asset on projects where ecological integration and wildlife activation are design objectives.
