Eucalyptus occidentalis Swamp Yate

Eucalyptus occidentalis, known as Swamp Yate, is a fast-growing medium tree native to Western Australia. It features rough, fibrous bark and a rounded crown with glossy green leaves and creamy-white flowers that attract birds and insects.

In Melbourne, it grows well in full sun with well-drained soil but also tolerates periodic waterlogging. It's ideal for parks or larger gardens and is drought-hardy once established, though occasional deep watering in summer helps.

In Sydney and Adelaide, Swamp Yate thrives in slightly alkaline to neutral soils and benefits from occasional pruning to maintain shape and encourage dense growth. It tolerates coastal conditions and dry periods with ease.

In Brisbane’s subtropical climate, plant in a sunny spot with good drainage. It will need extra care during humid summers to avoid fungal issues, but otherwise adapts well with moderate water and airflow.
