Also known as: Red Cap Gum
One of the most decorative Eucalypts. The flower buds each have an amazing red square cap with a raised cross on top. The caps burst open in the Autumn to reveal a spray of rich yellow flowers and stamens. The red buds and yellow stamens are present on the tree at the same time in large numbers, giving a spectacular display against the green foliage and smooth white bark of the trunk.
Each contains approximately 10 seeds.
