The Heart Leaved Gum is an attractive small to medium tree typically growing 3 to 15 metres in height with a dense crown of attractive silver-blue heart-shaped foliage. 
The foliage is very popular in floral arrangements.
Conical flower buds open to cream to yellow flowers in August and September.

A lignotuber forming species that is ideal for coppicing for the cut foliage industry.
 Adaptable to a range of soils. Tolerates wet and dry soils as well as boggy clay soils in an open sunny position. Frost tolerant.
Occurs naturally in a restricted distribution range in the southeast of Tasmania.

Although seed can be sown most of the year around if you avoid the coldest and hottest months of the year, the best time to sow is generally spring.

  • The grow mix should be free draining preferably with some organic compost well mix through. This will replicate the soil they require in nature.
  • Potting mix is not recommended.
  • Sow fine seeds on the surface and cover lightly with the grow mix, do not bury the seed deeply.
  •  For larger seed sow to a depth of the seed size.
  • Water with a fine mist spray to avoid disturbance of the seed.

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

*Please note:

  • Please do not be too hasty to discard seeds that do not germinate; seeds will often lay dormant until the conditions are similar to their natural germination requirements.
  • As with all seeds, they 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.
  • The customer should do their due diligence that they are suited to their region
