Answer:
Hi Chris, The orange flowering gum tree is called ‘Baby Orange’ and it is grafted. This means that it will be a bit expensive. It is not a great pot plant in the long run. Try Googling Buy Eucalyptus ‘Baby Orange’ or Buy Corymbia ‘Baby Orange’. Gum trees in general only do well in pots for a few years. Don
