Gum Display At The Junction

The flowering Gum Trees are out in all their glory and there are some stunning colours just around Junction Village. The term flowering gum is a bit misleading as all gum trees flower, some just have more spectacular flowers than others.

The humble gum has a lot to offer they attract birds, insects, smalls native animals, beautiful flowers and you have a choice of hundreds of species and varieties.







The Red Flowering Gum Eucalyptus ficiifolia / Corynbia ficifolia is the most spectacular of the Bloodwoods and has red, pink and white flowers.
