Description

Eucalyptus aggregata – Black Gum – 1 of the Magnificent Swamp Gums

This variety belongs to the small fruited swamp gums. It produces a nicely shaped tree with an open spreading crown, casting a light shade. Arching branches carry dense foliage in clusters. Eucalyptus aggregata has a lignotuber, from which it will grow back if cut down by an extremely harsh winter -15 Celsius and the like. Although sometimes considered synonymous with the closely related E. rodwayi, the two are distinct. Botanical Name: Eucalyptus aggregata       MYRTACEÆ; Myrtle Family Common Name: Black Gum Status: Evergreen Tree Origin: Endemic to Australia. It was first described by Deane and Joseph Maiden in 1900.  (southeast Australia – New South Wales and Central Victoria, not including Tasmania).  See also its cousin E. rodwayi. Why we like this variety:-

  • It’s an evergreen tree that looks comfortable in an English rural or garden setting.
  • It has an airey, light, elegant  and graceful habit
  • It gives a relatively quick result without becoming huge
  • source of nectar for winter foraging bees
  • drains swampy ground

Planting Position and Soil

Happy in normal garden soils in an open and sunny position, but this one of the swamp gums and usefully tolerates boggy, wet conditions. Don’t grow in shade.

How to Use

Aggregata makes for an excellent screening tree, with dense foliage. Well suited to life as an ornamental in your garden, it also has strong potential for use in firewood production and draining wet ground.
