Eucalyptus Ovata Swamp Gum

Eucalyptus ovata, also known as Swamp Gum or Black Gum, is a large evergreen tree native to southeastern Australia. It features smooth, grey bark and lance-shaped leaves with a glossy green appearance. In spring, it produces clusters of creamy-white flowers that attract pollinators.

To grow Swamp Gum, choose a location with moist, well-draining soil and plenty of sunlight. It thrives in wet or swampy areas but can tolerate drier conditions once established. Regular watering during the early stages is essential for healthy growth. Pruning may be necessary to shape the tree and remove any damaged branches. This species is a valuable addition to wetland restoration projects and provides habitat for various native wildlife.
