This attractive Australian native tree is loved for its smooth bark that is slightly purple in colour. It has large and twisted limbs, a very large expanded trunk base, white flower clusters in spring and beautiful red new growth. Ours is smaller in stature than the original so it is more suitable for urban landscapes.
