Tree Tristaniopsis laurina 'DOW10' Luscious ® Luscious Kanooka Gum, Water Gum

 

 

 

 
Description An Australian native, this is an improved variety of the regular Tristaniopsis laurina. Leaves are dark green, shiny and large - and as the name suggests, luscious in appearance! New growth starts out a distinctive copper colour and further interest appears over time with the branches developing deep purple coloured bark which peels back to reveal a smooth, cream trunk. Flowers are yellow and sweetly perfumed, appearing in clusters through summer.    
Foliage
Evergreen
   
Form
Oval
   
Mature Size 8 x 4m    
Uses Its dense form makes for an attractive hedge or screen. A great summer shade tree or feature tree.    
Position & Soil This variety tolerates a wide range of soil and climate conditions including frost. Not suited to very hot or dry climates or exposure to hot winds without regular watering. Will tolerate most moist, well drained soils in full sun. Whilst it copes with occasional wet ground, it is not suitable for inundated or saturated soil conditions.
