Large Fruited Mallee

An aptly named Mallee with very large fruit (gumnuts). Although the mallee itself is not large - growing only a few metres in height - it has plenty of other "large" characteristics. There are big leathery leaves, large buds 2cm across and big flattened gumnuts 5-6cm across. Flowers vary in colour from cream through pink to red. Widely distributed in desert areas.
Family: Myrtaceae Genus: Eucalyptus Species: youngiana Main Flower Colour: White
