Botanical Name
Eucalyptus viridis
Common Name
Green Mallee
Description
Green Mallee is a hardy native tree renowned for its compact mallee form and exceptional drought tolerance that creates reliable displays in challenging garden conditions. This resilient species produces clusters of small white to cream flowers that attract nectar-feeding birds and native bees, while the narrow, green leaves provide attractive evergreen foliage year-round. The multi-stemmed mallee growth habit arising from a lignotuber creates excellent screening potential with naturally compact form. Extremely hardy and drought tolerant once established, it thrives in well-drained soils and full sun positions with minimal water requirements. Perfect for native gardens, screening, and areas where compact native trees with exceptional drought resilience create practical landscape solutions.
