Eucalyptus frenchiana
Eucalyptus frenchiana, French's Mallet, is a small tree from the Myrtle family native to semi-arid Western Australia, grown mainly as a garden or revegetation tree rather than a houseplant. Give it full sun and well-drained soil, and let it dry out between waterings once established.
Eucalyptus frenchiana is a species of mallet that is endemic to Western Australia. It has smooth bark, narrow lance-shaped, glossy green adult leaves, ribbed flower buds in groups of three, white flowers and ribbed, conical to cup-shaped fruit.
This mallet grows in mallet-mallee woodland near Lake Johnston in the Coolgardie biogeographic region.
