- I am a dwarf Eucalyptus and trim well making me suited to hedging
- I have stunning blue foliage which is popular in floral arrangements
- I produce a profusion of fluffy white flowers throughout the colder months
- I thrive in full sun and tolerate shade
- I can be maintained at a metre high but unclipped will form an elegant tree 20m high
My new growth when young or cut back is a glaucous, a powdery looking blue-green, and egg shaped leading to one of my common names “Silver Dollar” gum/tree.
Not coppiced or cut back I will mature to a medium sized elegant tree with silver foliage and fibrous fissured bark.
I can be maintained at a small size and having a lignotuber can be cut back hard, reshoot from a coppiced stump. This is often done to allow my silver dollar foliage to be harvested for use floral arrangements making me highly sought after in the cut flower industry.
I produce masses of fluffy white flowers anytime between May and November.
Hardy I tolerate poor soils, drought, frost and cold. I am suited to exposed locations and for use as a windbreak.
