Eucalyptus bridgesiana.
Eucalyptus bridgesiana.

With a range extending from northern New South Wales into eastern Victoria, Eucalyptus bridgesiana is a medium sized tree.

It is very cold tolerant and makes a good shade or shelter tree. The juvenile foliage is sought after for cut flower arrangements and the tree can be coppiced if required.

This is a species that can grow it wet soils so is useful for revegetation along streams and gullies.

Care and Maintenance

  • Dig the soil over well and weed.
  • Water in with a liquid seaweed fertiliser.
  • Protect the young tree with a tree guard.
  • Water during very dry periods over spring to summer while establishing.
