About Eucalyptus gregsoniana - Wolgan Snow Gum

Eucalyptus gregsoniana, known as Wolgan Snow Gum, is a compact and hardy Australian native tree cherished for its striking smooth white bark and silvery-blue foliage. Growing 6–12 meters tall with a rounded canopy spreading 3–6 meters wide, this tree is perfect for smaller gardens and urban landscapes, offering year-round beauty and attracting native birds and insects.

Its bark is a true showstopper, peeling in ribbons to reveal layers of pink, orange, and green beneath creamy-white and gray-brown outer layers, providing unique visual interest. The small, lance-shaped grey-green leaves complement the ornamental bark, while inconspicuous white flowers add subtle charm during the growing season.

Thriving in full sun to partial shade, Wolgan Snow Gum is frost resistant, low maintenance, and moderately drought tolerant once established. It looks excellent when you want a resilient, elegant tree that brings texture and color to more compact spaces without demanding much care.
