Eucalyptus cinerea - Silver Dollar Gum

Eucalyptus cinerea (Silver Dollar Gum)

Eucalyptus cinerea is a small to medium tree valued for its distinctive round, silvery-blue juvenile foliage. The leaves are aromatic and densely arranged along the stems, giving the plant a soft, uniform appearance widely used in landscaping and floral work.

It performs best in full sun and free-draining soils. It can be maintained as a compact shrub with regular pruning or allowed to develop into a small tree over time.

Well suited to feature planting, screening, or foliage production, it is hardy once established and tolerant of dry conditions.
