Eucalyptus wimmerensis
Also called Wimmera Mallee Box, Wimmera Mallee
Green mallee (Eucalyptus wimmerensis) is a multi-stemmed eucalyptus shrub or small mallee, usually up to about 4 m tall, native to the Victoria and South Australia border region. It is grown mainly for its glossy green foliage and suits full sun and well-drained, sandy soil.
Eucalyptus wimmerensis, commonly known as the Wimmera mallee box or the broad-leaved green mallee, is a species of mallee that is endemic to an area around the border between Victoria and South Australia. It usually has smooth bark on the trunk and branches, linear to narrow oblong leaves, flower buds in groups of seven to eleven, white flowers and cup-shaped to barrel-shaped fruit.
The Wimmera mallee box has a scattered distribution in the Little Desert National Park and adjacent area of South Australia. It is most common between Dimboola and Nhill and between Nhill and Kaniva, where it grows in sandy soils or gravelly loams in mallee vegetation or mixed mallee woodland. As with some other Eucalypts, it occurs in lands cleared for agriculture. As a result, it is difficult to relate its distribution to the natural state. Some stands of E. wimmerensis include hybrids, even with the distantly related mallees of the E. dumosa group.
