Eucalyptus - Eucalyptus websteriana (Heart Leaf)

Eucalyptus websteriana is a small, compact tree native to Western Australia. It grows up to a height of 4-5 meters (under ideal conditions) and has a rounded crown. The bark is red-brown, exfoliating. The leaves are heart-shaped, hence the name Heart Leaf Eucalyptus, dark green in color. The flowers are pale yellow, with leaf-shaped petals. The fruits are hemispherical, green at first and yellow when ripe.

Eucalyptus websteriana is a valuable ornamental species, appreciated for its delicate flowers and dark green leaves. It is resistant to drought and heat and can be grown in gardens, parks and green spaces.

Eucalyptus websteriana is a rare species , being found naturally in only a few areas in Western Australia. It is a species vulnerable to forest fires, but it is protected by law in Australia.

It does not require special soil and is resistant to diseases and pests, being naturally considered "pest free". It withstands temperatures up to -20 °C, without the need for winter protection.

Height with pots included: approx. 40 cm (varies depending on the season)

In the warm season, these plants can arrive at their destination with damaged foliage (dry tips/leaves) - this aspect is due to transport and represents only an aesthetic defect.

Recommendation : We recommend that you plant the eucalyptus in the garden or in large pots, placed outside during the summer. It is an outdoor plant and does not behave well in the long term in small pots. Do not expose the plant to strong sunlight before planting.
