Eucalyptus pauciflora, commonly known as Snow Gum, is an exquisite evergreen species endemic to eastern Australia and renowned for its resilience and aesthetics. As a small to medium-sized tree, Snow Gum showcases an enchanting tapestry of smooth, creamy-white, and green bark with distinctive cinnamon peels, especially captivating against the red hue of new branches. Its spreading habit is accentuated by gracefully twisted branches, providing a striking visual throughout various seasons. The lustrous, gray-green foliage, rich with aromatic oils, extends up to 8 inches long, making it a highlight in any landscape.

Throughout spring and summer, Eucalyptus pauciflora bursts into life with clusters of stunning white flowers, attracting both people and birds. These blossoms eventually give way to large, decorative gum-nuts, adding to its horticultural appeal. Snow Gum thrives in full sun and fertile, neutral to slightly acidic soil, displaying an admirable tolerance for drought, cold, and hot conditions, although protection from cold, drying winds is recommended. Its versatility lends it to use as a specimen tree, or in parks and gardens, where its aesthetic bark can be fully appreciated.

Eucalyptus pauciflora's native range spans the Snowy Mountains and tablelands from southern New South Wales through Victoria to Tasmania, and it has been successfully introduced to other regions like Norway. It is one of the few species of eucalyptus that can be transplanted as large specimens due to its fibrous root system. In addition to its ornamental value, Snow Gum offers practical uses including windbreaks, shade, and the production of essential oils known for their medicinal properties.
