This unique tree is a #caesia (#SilverPrincess), from the #eucalypt family. It is native to the south-west of #WesternAustralia.

It typically grows to a height of 2 to 14 metres (6.6 to 45.9 ft) and the young branches are shiny red, covered with a waxy bluish, white bloom.

I have seen a few of these throughout the weeks during high sunshine and they almost look silver as the light hits their surface.

They flower during the colder months (mid year in Australia) - the flowers have pink stamens with yellow anthers on the tip.

They also have fruit (the bell shaped woody bulb) as pictured.

Leaves are elongated and these ones look happy and healthy.
