$7.00

Eucalyptus utilis, commonly known as Coastal moort, is a small, hardy mallee growing from 2-15m. It has a short trunk, branches with a spreading habit, smooth grey bark that peels off in ribbons revealing pale coppery bark beneath.

In late spring to summer it produces creamy white flowers that attract birds, bees and other pollinators. Adult leaves are thick, a shade of glossy olive green on both sides, egg-shaped to lance-shaped.

Eucalyptus utilis is highly tolerant of coastal winds, poor sandy soils, and drought, making it an ideal choice for coastal gardens, shelterbelts, wind breaks and habitat corridors.
