Common name: Cider Gum
Description: Eucalyptus gunnii is one of the hardiest eucalyptus for UK gardens, grown for its beautiful, aromatic silver-blue juvenile foliage and its striking peeling, grey-green bark. When cut back hard each spring — a technique known as coppicing — it produces a continuous flush of the rounder, more ornamental juvenile leaves that are so prized for cutting and floral arrangements. Left to grow freely, it develops into an elegant, fast-growing tree. The foliage has a distinctive eucalyptus fragrance and works beautifully in contemporary planting schemes.
Other benefits: aromatic foliage, excellent for cutting, fast-growing, attractive bark
Wildlife attraction: bees and insects visit the flowers; mature trees provide nesting sites for birds
