just thought id show you my pink flowering gum at the entrance to the property. It was in its glory a few days ago b4 the heavy rain which took alot of blossom off but still looks ok. Its amazing that this tree just gets full with bees , when i moved here 12 months ago i thought the noise was the electricity power line humming but it was the amount of bees this tree attracts. The tree is only 17 years old so im not sure on there growth rates but i think thats fast. Next to it is my favoirate tree in the garden a ginko which was amazing in its autumn colour last year, age it was planted at the same time.
