We had a sweep running at the nursery as to how soon our first batch of these beaut gums would sell out.

It took less than 72 hours. It's still a dead set favourite.

This one's got it all.
Native tree? Check.
Small slender size, perfect for suburban gardens? Check.
Masses of nectar-rich, bird-friendly fluffy flowers? Check.
Stunning purple colour? Oh, you betcha.

It's a winner.
