Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

  • 100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
  • 140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
  • 5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Description

"Pearl" captures the essence of the Red-Flowering Gum with its elegant soft pink blossoms that adorn the tree during Djeran (Autumn) to Djilba (late winter to early spring). This charming colour is sure to elevate any garden space, making "Pearl" an enticing choice for those looking to infuse gentle hues amidst green foliage. Its Australian origins, along with its ability to thrive in more humid conditions, make it a splendid addition for various garden settings.

When planting "Pearl" in the ground, especially if dealing with sandy soils, it's recommended to incorporate a quality soil conditioner for optimal growth. This cultivar, being a dwarf, does require caution: despite its size, its roots can be assertive, so avoid planting too close to buildings or other structures. Feeding it with a native plant fertiliser during Djilba (late winter to early spring) will ensure those captivating soft pink blooms continue to impress year after year.
