About 1 1/2 years ago I planted the pink variety ('summer beauty') and
couldn't find much info on care for it.
I mulched it well, and only watered it for about a month. I've never
fertilised it. It's now about 2 metres tall and growing strongly - it just
finished flowering, and I didn't know if I was meant to trim the spent
flowers or not.... so I've left it alone and it looks like the 'flower
heads' are developing into branches. I think I'll start neglecting my other
plants, and maybe they'll grow this well too!
I planted ours amongst dwarf lilly pillys which looks quite nice, because of
the contrasting leaf shapes/colours - and as they are only small plants they
highlight the eucalypt. I was keen to find a similiar tree with yellow
flowers as I thought that would be a nice combination.

I'm not actually being any help to you at all! But I was pleased to see
someone else is growing one, as it's a beautiful small tree. Everyone who
has seen it at our house has wanted to get one, but they don't seem terribly
common yet.

Hello all,
Can someone give me a guide to the care of This true.
I Planted it about 2 months ago. It is now putting on a
beautiful display of red flowers with a yellow centre.
Its about 1 metre tall at the moment. According to info
that I have on it, I can expect it to reach 5 metres tall
with a crown width of 3 metres.

What tree would be a good complement?

Cheers,
Mitch
