Plant in full sun in a well-draining soil and irrigate infrequently to not at all once established - this is a drought tolerant plant in our coastal climate. An attractive and useful smaller growing Eucalyptus.

Though Eucalyptus lehmannii is a valid species, plants long grown under this name in California are actually Eucalyptus conferruminata, that is more properly commonly called the Bald Island Marlock. It comes from a limited area between Two Peoples Bay east to beyond Esperance in the south of Western Australia where it can be found growing along the coast, often on massive granite rocks. The name for the genus comes from the Greek words 'eu' meaning "well" and 'kalypto' meaning 'to cover' as with a lid and an allusion to the united calyx-lobes and petals that is called an operculum that forms a lid or cap that is shed when the flowers open. The specific epithet is from the Latin 'conferruminatus' meaning "fused" in reference to the fused buds and fruit. We grew this plant as Eucalyptus lehmannii from 1980 until 1998.
