That size takes decades, and in average garden soil the tree often settles at the lower end of the range.

White Ash is frost hardy and survives heavy and frequent frost without damage, which is why it performs well in the southern tablelands, alpine valleys and cold inland towns. Being deciduous, it is bare when the hardest frosts arrive, so the buds and wood carry the load rather than soft foliage.

Councils use it in civic beds. Because it responds so well to hard pruning, you can hold it as a shrubby silver hedge instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:44px 0 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14px;font-weight:500;letter-spacing:1.5px;margin:0 0 8px;padding-top:32px;border-top:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.25);text-transform:uppercase;color:currentColor;\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 24px;color:currentColor;opacity:0.65;font-size:14px;font-style:italic;\"\u003eAbout Cider Gum\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.25);padding:18px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:500;cursor:pointer;line-height:1.4;padding-right:12px;font-size:16px;color:currentColor;\"\u003eWhat is Eucalyptus gunnii?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:14px 0 0;line-height:1.7;color:currentColor;opacity:0.85;\"\u003eEucalyptus gunnii is an evergreen eucalypt native to the Tasmanian highlands, named for the sweet sap that can be tapped from the trunk. It is grown mainly for its round, silver-blue juvenile foliage and smooth mottled bark, and it is the eucalypt seen most often in cut-flower work and cold-climate gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.25);padding:18px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:500;cursor:pointer;line-height:1.4;padding-right:12px;font-size:16px;color:currentColor;\"\u003eHow big does Cider Gum grow?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:14px 0 0;line-height:1.7;color:currentColor;opacity:0.85;\"\u003eIt reaches about 10 to 15 metres tall in cultivation with a broad upright crown of roughly 6 to 8 metres. Regular pruning keeps it well under that, and many gardeners run it at 3 to 4 metres purely for foliage. Left alone in good conditions it can exceed the range, so prune if height is a concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.25);padding:18px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:500;cursor:pointer;line-height:1.4;padding-right:12px;font-size:16px;color:currentColor;\"\u003eHow cold hardy is Cider Gum?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:14px 0 0;line-height:1.7;color:currentColor;opacity:0.85;\"\u003eVery. It is frost hardy and survives heavy and frequent frost without damage, which is why it is grown in the coldest parts of Australia and right across northern Europe. Cold snaps that damage other eucalypts leave it alone. Young plants are the exception and are worth sheltering through their first winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.25);padding:18px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:500;cursor:pointer;line-height:1.4;padding-right:12px;font-size:16px;color:currentColor;\"\u003eCan Cider Gum be kept small or pruned as a shrub?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:14px 0 0;line-height:1.7;color:currentColor;opacity:0.85;\"\u003eYes, and it is commonly done. Cut it back hard in late winter or early spring and it reshoots from the base and along the stems, producing a flush of the round silver juvenile leaves that are its best feature. Coppiced on a one or two year cycle it will hold as a 2 to 3 metre shrub.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.25);padding:18px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:500;cursor:pointer;line-height:1.4;padding-right:12px;font-size:16px;color:currentColor;\"\u003eIs Cider Gum evergreen?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:14px 0 0;line-height:1.7;color:currentColor;opacity:0.85;\"\u003eYes, evergreen. The foliage stays on year round, so the silver-blue colour holds through winter when little else does. Older leaves drop steadily rather than seasonally, and the bark sheds in strips through summer to reveal fresh cream and green patches beneath. There is no bare period at any point in the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.25);padding:18px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:500;cursor:pointer;line-height:1.4;padding-right:12px;font-size:16px;color:currentColor;\"\u003eCan I grow Cider Gum in a pot?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:14px 0 0;line-height:1.7;color:currentColor;opacity:0.85;\"\u003eYes, in a large container of 60 litres or more with a free-draining mix. Potted plants stay considerably smaller, and the confinement encourages the round juvenile foliage to persist. Water more often than you would in the ground, since pots dry quickly, and cut back annually to keep the plant in balance with the pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.25);padding:18px 0;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"font-weight:500;cursor:pointer;line-height:1.4;padding-right:12px;font-size:16px;color:currentColor;\"\u003eHow do I care for Cider Gum?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:14px 0 0;line-height:1.7;color:currentColor;opacity:0.85;\"\u003eWater through the first two summers, then only in long dry spells. Mulch the root zone and keep it clear of the trunk. Avoid high-phosphorus fertiliser. Prune in late winter, either lightly for shape or hard for fresh silver growth. Stake young trees in windy sites, since the soft new growth catches the wind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Evergreen Trees Direct","offers":[{"title":"40cm\/45L","offer_id":45199113814215,"sku":"EUCGUN40CM\/45L","price":300.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/4945\/4279\/files\/EucalyptusGunnii40cm_2.png?v=1750398593"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/4945\/4279\/collections\/FAST_GROWING_TREES_2.png?v=1765358669","url":"https:\/\/www.evergreentrees.com.au\/collections\/fast-growing-hedging-screening-trees.oembed?page=3","provider":"Evergreen Trees Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
