Corymbia Ficifolia Baby Scarlet

Corymbia ficifolia 'Baby Scarlet' is a compact, evergreen tree known for its vibrant red flowers and glossy, green foliage. This dwarf variety typically grows to about 3-4 meters in height, making it perfect for smaller gardens, courtyards, or as a street tree. 'Baby Scarlet' blooms from summer to autumn, producing clusters of bright scarlet flowers that attract birds and pollinators. The tree's rounded shape and decorative bark add visual interest year-round.

To grow Corymbia ficifolia 'Baby Scarlet', plant it in a sunny position with well-draining soil. It is tolerant of a range of soil types, including sandy and loamy soils. Water regularly during the establishment period, typically the first year, to promote strong root growth. Once established, it is relatively drought-tolerant and low-maintenance. Pruning is not necessary but can be done to shape the tree or remove any dead or damaged branches. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. With its stunning flowers and manageable size, 'Baby Scarlet' is a versatile and eye-catching addition to any garden.
