Eucalyptus camaldulensis (River Red Gum)

Description

A word of warning, the River Red Gum has a deserved reputation for shedding large limbs, usually on hot still evenings. So, in short, don’t plant near buildings or anywhere people regularly gather.

As far as care goes, in its natural habitat Eucalyptus camaldulensis normally exists close to rivers and swamps and seems happiest when it recieves one or two very heavy waterings per year. However, it also does well where the tree receives regular small waterings.
