The Blunt-budded River Red Gum is one of the best-known of all eucalypts. Typically a medium-sized tree that is usually branching not far above the ground, the bark is smooth and white or greyish in colour except near the base of the trunk where it is often rough.
Leaves are "typical" of eucalypts. being lance-shaped up to 250 mm long and blue-grey. White flowers occur mainly in late spring and summer.

Occurs naturally mainly in the IBRA Regions of the Avon Wheatbelt, Carnarvon, Central Kimberley, Central Ranges, Dampierland, Gascoyne, Geraldton Sandplains, Gibson Desert, Great Sandy Desert, Great Victoria Desert, Little Sandy Desert, Murchison, Northern Kimberley, Ord Victoria Plain, Pilbara, Swan Coastal Plain, Tanami, Victoria Bonapartes and Yalgoo in Ewsten Australia, although it does occur, is also in the NT, Qld and SA.

Adapts to a wide range of soils but prefers light to heavy soil in an open sunny position with an adequate water supply, drought and salt-tolerant but frost tender.

Although seeds can be sown most of the year if you avoid the coldest and hottest months, spring is generally the best time to sow.
The grow mix should be well-draining, preferably with organic compost. This will replicate the soil they require in nature.

A potting mix is not recommended.

  • Sow fine seeds on the surface and cover lightly with the grow mix or vermicule. Do not bury the seed deeply.
  •  For larger seeds, sow to a depth of the seed size.
  • Water with a fine mist spray to avoid disturbance of the seed.

Germination occurs in around 10-28 days at a soil temperature of 18-22°C

*Please note:

  • Please do not be too hasty in discarding seeds that do not germinate; seeds will often lay dormant until conditions are like their natural germination requirements.
  • All seeds must have adequate water to germinate; keep them moist but not too wet.
  • These growth notes are provided as guidance only and do not guarantee successful germination.
  • Customers should do their due diligence and ensure they are suited to their region.
