Red Cap Gum
RED CAP GUM
Eucalyptus erythrocorys

This is a sprawling Australian malle (shrubby tree) that is difficult to train into an upright, standardize, single trunk form. Otherwise, this is a great tough, small eucalyptus for small spaces where a multi-trunk, colorful, and large screening plant is desired.
