Learn About Your New 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.

Post Planting Care
When planting a new tree or shrub, proper watering is essential to ensure healthy establishment and long-term growth. Follow these guidelines to give your plant the best start:
- Immediately After Planting:
Water generously right after planting to settle the soil around the roots and eliminate air pockets. This helps the roots make good contact with the soil. - First Three Months (Establishment Phase):
The initial three months are critical for root development. Water deeply twice daily (morning and evening) to encourage strong, deep root growth. - Irrigation Systems:
If using an irrigation system, adjust it to provide adequate water during the establishment phase. Ensure the water reaches the root zone without overwatering. - Weather Considerations:
Adjust watering based on weather conditions. Increase frequency during hot, dry periods and reduce it during cooler, wetter seasons. - Ongoing Care:
After the establishment phase (3 months), gradually reduce watering frequency but ensure the plant receives consistent moisture, especially during dry spells.
