Description

Melicope rubra 'Blush' - red euodia

APPEARANCE : Australian native subtropical tree with evergreen foliage and clusters of butterfly- and bird-attracting pink-red flowers. M. rubra 'Blush' has darker flowers than M.elleryana and a straighter habit, with a little more resilience to urban garden conditions.
USE FOR : Plant as a feature or screening tree, plants have a shallow root system making them them ideal for street-scaping. Lovely for native and wildlife gardens
CLIMATE : Resilient to coastal, windy, cool or tropical climates. Protect from frost
PLANTING : Plant in sun or shade in rich free-draining soil.
CARE: Mulch when planting and provide regular water until the plant is established, usually around 12 weeks. Will respond well to yearly fertilising using a slow release native fertiliser in Spring. Pruning is not required but can be done to maintain a more compact form.
HEIGHT & WIDTH: 5 m H x 5 m W.
YOUR PLANTS : These are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80mm high and 42 mm wide.
