Eucalyptus Gunnii | 7 Lt Pot

A fast grwoing evergreen. Position: full sun Soil: neutral to slightly acidic soil that doesn’t dry out Rate of growth: fast-growing Flowering period: July to October Hardiness: fully hardy (borderline) Eucalyptus gunnii is fast growing and easy to care for. An outstanding specimen plant, it can be planted in a large garden and allowed to grow into a magnificent tree – or where space is more restricted, cut back hard and grown as a shrub. The young foliage is rounded, and greener in colour, while older leaves tend to be sickle-shaped and greyish-green. Mature plants will also produce clusters of pretty white flowers in summer or autumn. Garden care: Requires minimal pruning if grown as a tree, but if grown as a shrub (or for the best juvenile foliage), cut back to two or three buds from the base in early spring. When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole, stake firmly and protect from cold, drying winds.
