Eucalyptus Robusta is a structural greenery engineered by nature for grand scale, rich contrast, and unmatched durability. Characterized by its notably thick, robust stems and remarkably broad, leathery lance-shaped leaves, it provides immediate architectural weight. Emitting a deep, wonderfully pungent herbal fragrance when processed, Robusta is the perfect foliage choice for high-volume installations, heavy-duty table runners, and bold, contemporary fine-art floral displays.

Florist Care & Handling
Because Robusta features thicker, more fibrous wood, proper hydration cuts are essential. Process upon arrival by stripping away any lower leaves that would sit beneath the water line to avoid fouling. Using heavy-duty commercial bypass shears or sharp branch loppers, apply a clean, deep angled cut to the base of the stems. Place immediately into clean buckets filled with deep, fresh water treated with professional foliage or flower preservative. Store in a cool holding room or floral chiller.
