Eucalyptus calycogona (Square-fruited Mallee) Pink Form

As we drove in to the Retirement Village last week I saw this lovely mallee growing on the curb. When I got out of the car to take a photo, I realised that it was one of the colour forms of Eucalyptus calycogona, a very hardy small tree which often has a mallee form. The tree usually flowers in the winter- spring period so I was surprised to see the prolific flowering of this one. It is certainly an asset to have summer flowering native plants.
