About

Eucalyptus annulata, commonly known as the open-fruited mallee or prickly-fruited mallee, is a mallee that is native to Western Australia.

How to grow it

The plant is sold commercially in seed form and, like most Eucalypts, germinates easily. It prefers a full position and will tolerate light frost and drought once established. It is grown in gardens as a shade tree or as an informal screen or windbreak.

Where it grows

It is found extending inland along the south coast of the Great Southern and Wheatbelt region of Western Australia between Albany, Western Australia, Ravensthorpe and Gnowangerup where it grows in sandy-loamy-clay soils.
