PLANT PROFILE

Eucalyptus gunnii, commonly known as the Cider Gum, is a fast-growing Australian native tree known for its attractive round, silver-blue juvenile foliage and smooth, mottled bark. Highly valued in ornamental and landscape use, it provides strong visual impact and year-round colour.

This evergreen tree can reach 10–15 metres in height and develops a broad, upright form. The foliage is often used in floral arrangements, and its striking juvenile leaves make it especially popular in modern gardens. Eucalyptus gunnii is tolerant of frost and drought once established and performs best in full sun with well-drained soil.

Low maintenance and adaptable, it can be pruned to maintain a smaller size or used as a feature tree, shelterbelt, or screen in larger gardens and rural properties.

Mature Height: 10 – 15 meters

Mature Width: 4 – 6 meters
