Sale price$250.00

Eucalyptus baueriana, commonly known as Blue Box or Round-leaf Box, is a striking Australian native tree celebrated for its unique greyish-blue, rounded juvenile foliage. Growing to 10–15 meters tall with an 8–10 meter spread, this medium-sized tree offers both beauty and ecological value, providing essential habitat for native wildlife.

Its broad canopy creates excellent shade, while late spring to summer brings subtle flowering that enhances its appeal. Thriving in full sun and highly drought-tolerant once established, Blue Box is a resilient and versatile choice for gardens, parks, and natural landscapes.

It looks excellent standing tall with its soft blue hues — a calming and distinctive feature that blends effortlessly into Australian environments, resonating with those who appreciate both nature’s grace and practical, low-maintenance greenery.
