Corymbia bloxsomei
Corymbia bloxsomei
Family: Myrtaceae
Cultivation
Corymbia bloxsomei is native to the warm temperate zone of southeastern Queensland, growing in a region with moist to wet summers and low winter rainfall. Corymbia species generally require a sunny position, succeeding in a wide range of well-drained, circumneutral soils of low to moderate fertility. The plant develops a lignotuber - this is a woody tuber that starts to develop near the base of seedlings and can become massive in the mature plants of some species.
