Discover the beauty and resilience of Eucalyptus gunnii, commonly known as Cider Gum - one of the fastest-growing and hardiest varieties of eucalyptus. As a distinguished evergreen, it flaunts an upright, conical habit with a dense canopy of aromatic foliage. The juvenile leaves, characterized by their bright, silver-blue hue and aromatic scent, transition into a striking blue-green lance shape as they mature.

Awarded the prestigious Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society, Cider Gum stands as a testament to its ornamental and practical value in any landscape. This remarkable tree can reach towering heights of 82 feet with a spread of 32 feet when unpruned, making it a stunning specimen tree. Its versatile nature also allows it to be maintained as a multi-stemmed shrub, producing an abundance of silver-blue juvenile leaves cherished in floral arrangements.

Ideal for providing shade, windbreaks, or privacy screens, Eucalyptus gunnii thrives in full sun to part shade and requires neutral to slightly acidic soil. Notably low maintenance, it's resistant to deer and drought. However, prospective growers should be cautious of the eucalyptus sucker, silver leaf, and oedema. While offering beauty and infusing a delightful fragrance, this Tasmanian native requires consideration for its toxicity to animals like dogs, cats, and horses. Embrace the elegance of Cider Gum and enrich your garden's aesthetic with this evergreen wonder.
