Overview & Specifications
Long-Fruited Marlock - Eucalyptus macrandra
Eucalyptus macrandra is a compact Western Australian native that delivers outsized visual impact, vivid red blooms against broad, silver-grey foliage on a sculptural, multi-stemmed form. Exceptionally drought tolerant and architecturally distinctive, it performs where lesser species struggle.
Why Long-Fruited Marlock
Vivid floral display: Large red flowers create striking contrast against the silver foliage, commanding attention through the flowering season.
Year-round foliage interest: Broad, blue-grey leaves provide strong structural colour independent of flowering cycles.
Refined scale: Naturally compact at 3 to 6 metres, suited to projects where full-sized eucalypts are not appropriate.
Exceptional drought tolerance: Deep-rooted resilience makes it reliable across dry, free-draining, and exposed sites with minimal intervention.
Fauna value: Red flower clusters draw honeyeaters and native pollinators, supporting biodiversity in designed landscapes.
Ideal Applications
Specimen planting: Deployed as a standalone focal point in native or contemporary landscapes where architectural form is required.
Coastal and exposed properties: Performs reliably in harsh, free-draining conditions where establishment of other species is difficult.
Constrained urban sites: Scale and form suit courtyard settings, tight streetscapes, and compact residential projects.
Mass planting for colour impact: Multiple specimens planted in succession deliver a sustained, high-impact floral display across a broader landscape.
Specimen & Installation

Soil & Drainage: Well-drained to moderately fertile soils; tolerates sandy, loamy or clay soils; drought tolerant once established
