Eucalyptus Melliodora (Yellow Box)
Eucalyptus Melliodora, commonly known as Yellow Box, is a stunning Australian native tree prized for its fine-grained, yellow-brown timber and sweet-scented flowers. Its mottled grey and yellow bark adds ornamental interest, while the creamy-white flowers, which bloom from late spring to summer, provide a vital nectar source for bees, making it a favourite for honey production.
This hardy evergreen tree thrives in a variety of soils and is highly drought-tolerant once established. Yellow Box is ideal for rural properties, windbreaks, and habitat restoration projects, offering shade, shelter, and ecological benefits.
