Eucalyptus cladocalyx PBR - Vintage Red

Eucalyptus 'Vintage Red' stands out as a captivating focal point in any landscape. Its foliage boasts a striking deep red hue that transitions to purple and grey as it matures. Supported by almost black stems, the leaves create a mesmerizing contrast. With age, the bark peels away, revealing smooth grey layers.
This versatile tree responds exceptionally well to pruning, allowing for denser foliage or the option to maintain it as a shrub. Whether showcased individually or integrated into native, cottage, or formal gardens, Vintage Red adds a touch of elegance to its surroundings. Despite its stunning appearance, caring for Vintage Red is surprisingly straightforward. Plant it in an area with full to partial sunlight, as it can adapt to various light conditions.
This resilient tree thrives in both cold and drought, making it suitable for diverse climates. Optimal soil consists of sandy loam or well-draining clay. During its establishment phase, water regularly for 8-13 weeks, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist.
Applying a chunky mulch aids in moisture retention, but be cautious not to mound it too high, keeping it well below the graft union. If fertilisation becomes necessary, opt for a slow-release formula in the spring season. With minimal maintenance requirements, Eucalyptus 'Vintage Red' promises to be a hassle-free addition to any landscape.
