Description

Lucky Country Eucalyptus, also called Mountain Swamp Gum or Broad-leaved Sally, is a native of Australia. It is found in the marshes and valleys of mountainous areas of New South Wales and southern Victoria, which means it will tolerate wet conditions. That said, Lucky Country will grow well in almost any soil conditions. New growth appears in all four seasons with bright green, fragrant leaves that resemble the shape of Gingko leaves. The leaves take on stunning burgundy and red hues in cooler temps. Small white flowers appear in summer. Bark is grey-brown, smooth and peels at the base. Depending on climate, Lucky Country will grow in a graceful form 30 to 50 feet in height with a spread of about 20 to 30 feet. Responds well to pruning so size is easy to control. One of a few Eucalyptus that will tolerate a good amount of shade.

Cold Hardiness

In McDonough, GA (zone 8A), 3 year old Lucky Country Eucalyptus trees had minimal leaf damage and looked great following winters where temps twice reached 6 degrees F. In Suches, GA (Zone 7A), 10 month old trees that froze to the ground at 0 degrees and 30 mph winds regrew vigorously from the base.

Landscape Uses

Growing about 20 to 30 feet tall and 20 feet wide, depending on climate, and liking wet to consistently moist soils, Lucky Country Eucalyptus is ideal for use in those areas where the soil stays consistently moist. It is also quite shade tolerant. Nice around patios, decks, water gardens and other outdoor living areas.

Suggested Spacing: 10 to 15 feet apart for privacy screen; 30 feet apart or more for space between trees

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Eucalyptus tree variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

Lucky Country is perhaps one of the most easy Eucalyptus trees to grow. It is extremely adaptable, growing well in anything from a dry sandy soil to clay and even waterlogged soils. It grows well in full sun or part shade.

We ordered and planted this tree in March. It was still oddly cold here for several weeks so I was concerned. We’re now in May, Tons of rain and lots of humid days. This tree looks absolutely flawless. Not a single leaf looks browned from planting. Lots of new growth already starting.—————————————-Thanks for the photos! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I purchased the 1 gallon pot. The plant arrived beautifully! It is potted in a large pot and I am praying it grows to give me enough for bridal bouquets this July. It has been a couple weeks and it is still doing fine. No wilt or die off.————————————————Thanks for the awesome review! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

We couldn’t be happier!

Spencer at Wilson Bros was very helpful and answered emails right away. This plant dried out soon after I received it. I believe the stress of shipping when the weather was so hot was too much for these types of plants. Maybe now that it’s fall with weather more suitable would be a much better time to order. This company did honor their guarantee though and it was much appreciated.————————————————–So sorry it didn’t make it, but glad we could offer a resolution. Thanks for the review, have a great day.

My baby Eucalyptus tree arrived within 3 days of ordering and in excellent condition as is usual. It looked exactly as the photo in the promotion video and was obviously in excellent health. He has been in the ground now for 2 weeks and has grown 2 inches. I am very satisfied with this purchase.————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!
