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

Eucalyptus caesia, commonly known as Silver Princess or Gungurru, is a stunning native tree from Western Australia. It is renowned for its weeping branches, covered in silvery-grey foliage with a distinctive powdery bloom, and its striking red or pink flowers, adorned with golden stamens. The blooms appear during summer (Birak) and early autumn (Bunuru), attracting birds, bees, and other pollinators. The decorative, woody gum nuts that follow the flowers are an additional feature, often used in floral arrangements.

Silver Princess thrives in full sun and well-draining sandy or loamy soils, making it perfect for Perth gardens. Best suited to garden beds as a feature tree, it is also ideal for wildlife gardens. Regular watering is beneficial during establishment, but once mature, it is highly drought-tolerant. To keep the tree healthy, provide occasional deep watering during extended dry periods and prune lightly to maintain its shape.
