Description
The Lollypop Gum Tree, "Lollypops", is a grafted flowering Gum Tree. Its botanical name is Corymbia Ficifolia. It only grows to a small size of around 5m high and flowers profusely. I shot this one in the north of Sydney, NSW, Australia.
Corymbia is a genus of about one hundred species of tree that, along with Eucalyptus, Angophora and several smaller groups, are referred to as eucalypts. Until 1990, corymbias were included in the genus Eucalyptus and there is still considerable disagreement among botanists as to whether separating them is valid. Wikipedia
