Eucalyptus websteriana is one of a suite of small ornamental trees endemic to Western Australia. Growing up to 3 metres high, with minni-ritchi bark and heart-shaped leaves, this small tree is compact and provides only lightly dappled shade, meaning any undergrowth plants will not suffer as Eucalyptus websteriana grows.

This variety of Mallee can be easily confused with Eucalyptus orbifolia, however is easily identified by its smaller, greener leaves which are longer and wider. You will also notice that Eucalyptus websteriana doesn’t have a white, waxy coating on its fruit.

Eucalyptus websteriana flowers from September to November, with a subtle show of feathery yellow flowers, and ornamental, globular buds and fruit.

This tree grows well in heavy soils, as long as it is well drained.
