{"title":"Gum Trees","description":"\u003cp\u003eGums are for blocks with room: open ground, a paddock corner, a front garden that can carry one canopy and little else. Plant one and you get honeyeaters from the first flowering, bark in sheets through summer, and a tree that lives on rainfall. They are not for courtyards, narrow side boundaries, or anything within reach of a pool, slab or septic line. If you want a clipped formal hedge, this is the wrong range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere the tree comes from decides whether it lives\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are 117 gums, corymbias and angophoras here, from the Kalgoorlie goldfields to the Tasmanian high country. The Western Australian dry country species want heat, sharp drainage and dry summers. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/gum-tree-eucalyptus-woodwardii\"\u003eEucalyptus woodwardii\u003c\/a\u003e holds its silver bloom under lemon yellow brushes on Perth medians and across dry South Australia. Put it in a Brisbane February and the bloom washes off and leaf spotting starts. Cold gardens run the other way. Argyle Apple comes off the Southern Tablelands and takes hard frost on thin gravel. Cider gum, from the Tasmanian high country, handles Orange and Canberra. Lemon Scented Gum is the warm end, a Queensland tree that shrugs off humidity but browns in hard frost while young.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eScale is the decision, flower is not\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe common mistake is a forest tree on a house block. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/gum-tree-eucalyptus-camaldulensis\"\u003eRiver Red Gum\u003c\/a\u003e is the standard example: floodplain country, dam surrounds, stock shade, and limb drop in still summer weather that rules out a house yard. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/flowering-gum-corymbia-maculata\"\u003eSpotted Gum\u003c\/a\u003e carries its crown high over a dappled bole, so it will not screen anything. For a suburban front garden, buy a selected small form like \u003ca href=\"\/products\/gum-tree-eucalyptus-leucoxylon-euky-dwarf\"\u003eEuky Dwarf\u003c\/a\u003e, single trunked with a crown low enough to sit under powerlines. Ten listings here are yellow gum forms, the group to check first on an ordinary block.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eScreening with a gum is not hedging\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA forest gum will not clip into a formal line. Shear one and you get a knuckle of regrowth and an open wound. Clipping belongs in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hedges\"\u003ehedging plants\u003c\/a\u003e. A young eucalypt covers eye level for a few years, then lifts its skirt and screens sky. Moort, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/gum-tree-eucalyptus-platypus\"\u003eEucalyptus platypus\u003c\/a\u003e, holds a dense crown almost to ground level and starts at 70mm tubes, which is what a shelter belt needs. A Western Australian mallet, it wants a dry summer: Perth, the wheatbelt, Adelaide, the drier inland. Never lift that skirt, because it has no lignotuber and will not shoot back. Silver gums are the exception, cut hard every year or two to keep the round juvenile leaf coming. Argyle Apple and Silver Leaved Mountain Gum go in the front row of a windbreak on that basis. Argyle Apple also seeds heavily and has naturalised beyond its range in parts of the south east, so keep it well back from remnant bush.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat size to buy, and the first summer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSizes run from 70mm tubes to 800L bags, and 69 listings carry a 400mm pot, more than any other size. A 400mm holds roughly 35 litres of mix, a formed tree and a two person lift. Gums are where paying for that size gains you least. A 140mm plant, about a litre and a half, planted in autumn, or in spring where frost lifts a small ball, often draws level with a 400mm of the same species inside three summers. A young gum spends its first year sending roots down; a container tree arrives with a flat plate of them. Cut the circling roots. Stake low and loose, or not at all, and let the trunk move. Skip the compost and fertiliser, and keep lawn sprinklers off the collar. Rich soil and steady water grow soft wood that snaps in the first real blow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor nectar at shrub scale, look at bottlebrush and paperbark in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/natives\"\u003eAustralian natives\u003c\/a\u003e.
