Market price from $669.99 to $1,199.99

Tristaniopsis laurina (Standard) is a dynamic, evergreen Australian native, fondly known as the Water Gum. It's an extraordinary selection that punctuates any landscape with its commanding presences, extending up to an impressive 10 to 15 meters in height. Its foliage, a symphony of glossy, dark green leaves, transitions to a vibrant yellowish-green as the cooler months call, adding textural interest all year round. This tree is not just about good looks, its resilience is noteworthy too. The Water Gum thrives in diverse soil types and is forgiving of both damp and dry conditions, attesting to its low maintenance nature. The radiant sunshine or a mild partial shade, either can be its home. However, what sets the Water Gum apart is its distinctive bark - an organic art piece, showcasing a palette of shifting greys to rich copper tones. As an added benefit, this is a tree that continues to give, blooming small clustered yellow flowers, which not only bring a burst of summer color but also welcome the native wildlife. Tristaniopsis laurina (Standard) is, indeed, a standout choice for those looking to infuse authenticity and sophistication into their landscape designs.
