What is Pink Euodia?

Melicope elleryana, commonly known as Pink Euodia or Pink Flowered Doughwood, is a native Australian rainforest tree appreciated for its ornamental appeal and wildlife value. It features lush green leaves and vibrant clusters of pink flowers that fill landscapes with colour and nectar, making it a standout choice for gardens seeking native charm and ecological benefit.

How to care for Pink Euodia

Plant in a sunny to partly shaded site with moist, well-drained soil. Water regularly until established, then reduce frequency once the tree is settled; occasional deep watering during dry spells will support healthy growth. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature. This species benefits from minimal pruning, with light shaping after flowering to maintain form.
