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.

The "Phil's Orange" cultivar of the Red-Flowering Gum boasts vibrant deep orange blossoms that come alive during Djeran (Autumn) to Djilba (late winter to early spring). As an Australian native, its brilliant hue is a beacon of beauty, offering a stunning contrast to the surrounding foliage. Despite its dwarf stature, it remains a distinctive presence in any garden, especially with its tolerance to humid conditions.

When considering "Phil's Orange" for your garden, ensure to plant it in the ground, enhancing sandy soils with a quality soil conditioner for the best results. However, a word of caution is essential: its roots, although belonging to a dwarf, can be invasive, so it's advisable to maintain a safe distance from structures. For continuous, vibrant blooms, nourish it with a native plant fertiliser during Djilba (late winter to early spring).
