Eucalyptus Gunnii

A tree which can be pruned and grown as a shrub will add wonderment to your garden with its silvery leaves, with the added bonus of lovely-smelling leaves! 

Light: These lovely trees love the sun, so they're perfect for a sunny patio.

Watering: Wait until the soil is dry, then give it a good watering. Roughly once a week, and possibly more during the height of summer. After your Eucalyptus is more established, it will become drought-tolerant. 

Temperature: This is a cold hardy plant, so it can go down to -8 to -13°C, so a lovely choice to add some green to your garden or patio. The younger trees are more sensitive to the frosts and become hardier as they go on. 

Potting: An airy and well-draining mix is ideal for these. Our Airy Ariod mix would be a lovely fit if you are growing this beauty indoors.  

Hot tips: Keep this beauty in bright light, and it will be a happy plant. 

Pet Friendly: This plant is toxic to pets, but our cat doesn't seem to notice ours in the garden.
