About Eucalyptus pauciflora 'Little Snowman'

Eucalyptus pauciflora 'Little Snowman', known as Little Snowman Snow Gum, is a compact, cold-hardy, and drought-tolerant Australian native tree perfect for feature planting, windbreaks, and urban landscapes. Reaching 6–8 meters tall with a spreading canopy of 4–6 meters wide, it brings year-round interest with its smooth, exfoliating bark in white, grey, and cream tones. Its narrow green leaves release a fresh eucalyptus scent, and in summer, it produces small white flowers that attract native pollinators.

Thriving in full sun, this resilient Snow Gum tolerates frost, snow, pollution, and exposed conditions, adapting well to various soil types from sandy to clay. Minimal maintenance is needed, with occasional pruning to maintain shape. Whether used for structure in gardens, protection in windbreaks, or supporting wildlife habitat, it looks excellent adding natural beauty and durability to both urban and rural environments. Perfect for those seeking a tough yet elegant tree with ecological benefits and visual charm.
