Description

The Silver Dollar Gum is a fast-growing, iconic Australian tree renowned for its beautiful, rounded, blue-green to silvery adult leaves. These fragrant leaves are prized in floral arrangements. The tree develops an open, spreading canopy with attractive, mottled bark. It’s an excellent, quick-growing shade tree for large, dry gardens, but its size and vigorous roots demand ample space.

• Grown for its beautiful, nearly circular, blue-green to silvery-gray adult leaves that are highly aromatic and excellent for cut foliage.

• A fast-growing tree that quickly provides light, dappled shade with its open, spreading canopy.

• Exceptionally drought and heat tolerant once established, thriving with little to no summer water in well-drained soil.

• Develops attractive mottled bark of gray, cream, and brown as it matures.

• Note: Like many eucalypts, it can be messy, dropping leaves, bark, and branches. It needs a large space away from structures due to its size and vigorous root system.
