Corymbia torelliana (cadaghi)

A tree with a green-gray trunk and elongated, oval leaves that are relatively wide. The flowers are hairy, in a white-cream color and grow in large clusters. The flowers are replaced by clusters of round brown fruits that resemble pitchers and contain many small seeds. The tree is very attractive for planting due to its fast growth rate, the minimal watering it requires and its long lifespan, as befits a tree in this family. It is very resilient to many climate conditions and air pollution. Its light leaves, the impressive smell and the reddish growth make it an interesting and attractive tree. It is not recommended for private gardens because of its size. Take into consideration that Eucalyptus leaves contain a substance that inhibits germination so small plants will struggle to grow in its immediate vicinity. This tree is also a very important pasture for honey bees.
