The many lovely flowers attract bees & butterflies, and over 100 species of birds use these Blue Gums. Squirrels and other small animals enjoy eating the seeds as well. They can tolerate salty coastal conditions, any type of soil, and dryness. As the name suggests, this tree is an Australian (Tasmanian) native. they were introduced to the USA in 1853 where they were grown for fuel (lumber).
