Swamp Mahogany

Eucalyptus robusta
In the United States: Invasive · also called Robusta Eucalyptus
Listed as invasive. Check local regulations — several jurisdictions restrict planting.

Honeybees heavily forage on swamp mahogany for abundant nectar and pollen, contributing to significant honey flows and light-colored honey. Bloom timing varies by hemisphere — autumn through winter in the southern hemisphere, late spring into summer in the northern. Can spread outside its native range in subtropical climates — verify local planting regulations.
