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 erythrocorys, commonly known as Illyarrie or Red-Capped Gum, is a striking native tree from Western Australia. Renowned for its vivid red bud caps that open to reveal brilliant yellow flowers, this tree creates a showy display during Djilba to Kambarang (late winter to late spring). Its smooth, pale grey bark, which sheds in ribbons, adds to its ornamental appeal, making it an eye-catching feature in any landscape.

Ideal for full sun positions, Illyarrie thrives in well-drained sandy or loamy soils and tolerates drought conditions once established. It is perfect for larger gardens, open spaces, or as a windbreak tree. Minimal maintenance is required beyond occasional pruning to shape and remove deadwood. This resilient and adaptable tree is a fantastic addition to Perth gardens, providing colour and habitat for birds and insects.
