Description
This Gum is a native of the highlands of Tasmania and Australia and was introduced to the UK in the mid 1850s. A winner of the Award of Garden Merit in both 2002 and 1950, this striking tree is also well suited to being grown as a multi-stemmed coppiced specimen.
A very well-known Eucalyptus - and a very hardy one - this large, broadly pyramidal tree has smooth grey-pink to red-brown bark. The young leaves are grey-green and glaucous providing a wonderful contrast to gardens and municipal landscapes. For those florists amongst you, the foliage is particularly good to compliment cut flower arrangements.
It thrives on most soils.
