Key Information
Product Details

A beautiful, evergreen tree native to Southern Australia and Tasmania, Eucalyptus gunnii has attractive, exfoliating, multicoloured bark and steel-blue foliage. The young leaves are curiously rounded and a popular choice for flower arranging, becoming longer and more narrow as the tree matures.

Flowering Period: July - August.
Rate of Growth: Vigorous.
Habit: Large branching tree once established.

How Much Sun: Full Sun, Light Shade
Eventual Size: Tree - Large (15m+)
Growing Conditions: Soil: Not Fussy, Soil: Acid, Soil: Dry/Sandy, Site: Coastal Areas
