Candlebark Gum

Eucalyptus rubida, commonly known as Candlebark Gum, is a striking Australian native tree admired for its smooth, pale bark that peels to reveal shades of cream, pink, and grey. Growing 15–20m tall, this elegant gum makes a stunning feature tree in larger gardens, parks, or rural properties. Its rounded canopy provides dappled shade, while clusters of small white flowers attract bees, birds, and other pollinators. Hardy and adaptable, Eucalyptus rubida thrives in a variety of soils, tolerates frost, and performs well in cooler climates such as Melbourne and surrounding regions. A timeless native that brings beauty, shade, and habitat to the landscape year-round. The Candlebark Gum.
