Overview & Specifications
Spotted Gum, Corymbia citriodora subsp. variegata
Few Australian natives command a landscape like the Spotted Gum. Its signature mottled trunk, cycling through cream, grey, and soft pink, delivers year-round sculptural presence that no ornamental planting can replicate. At advanced sizes, it arrives ready to anchor a property with immediate authority.
Why Spotted Gum
Exceptional trunk character: A naturally smooth, patchwork bark in cream, grey, and blush tones that intensifies with maturity.
Strong vertical form: Upright and refined, it creates a commanding presence without a heavy, obstructive canopy.
Evergreen structure: Consistent form and foliage year-round, requiring no seasonal replanting or reinvention.
Proven resilience: Performs reliably under heat, wind exposure, and extended dry periods, demanding minimal intervention once established.
Filtered shade: An open canopy delivers light, usable shade across large open spaces without dominating the ground plane.
Ideal Applications
Signature feature planting: A single advanced specimen delivers the kind of focal point that defines a prestige property.
Avenue and driveway plantings: Uniform rows create a dramatic, formal arrival sequence suited to estate-scale projects.
Large residential and acreage properties: Provides scale, shade, and structure across expansive sites where lesser trees would be lost.
Parks and civic landscapes: A proven performer in large-scale professional landscaping and public realm projects.
