Eucalyptus cinerea – Silver Dollar Gum

PLANT PROFILE

Eucalyptus cinerea, commonly known as Silver Dollar Gum, is a fast-growing and striking evergreen Australian native tree, celebrated for its unique round, silvery-blue foliage and aromatic leaves. With a mature height of 10–15 meters and a broad canopy spanning 8–10 meters, this tree offers year-round visual interest and valuable habitat for wildlife.

Its distinctive silver-grey leaves are not only a garden standout but also a favourite in floral arrangements, adding texture and fragrance. The upright growth habit with a spreading canopy provides excellent shade, shelter, and structure in landscapes. Highly drought-tolerant and resilient, Silver Dollar Gum thrives in full sun and adapts well to a variety of soils and urban conditions, requiring minimal maintenance once established.

It looks excellent in gardens, parks, and streetscapes where a strong architectural form and seasonal interest are desired. Whether used as a feature tree, windbreak, or for its ornamental foliage, Eucalyptus cinerea is a reliable, beautiful, and practical choice that resonates with those seeking low-maintenance greenery with a distinctive presence.
