Eucalyptus gunnii Azura

Eucalyptus gunnii Azura

Eucalyptus gunnii Azura is an evergreen selection of the cider gum valued for its striking juvenile foliage: rounded, aromatic, glaucous blue leaves that clothe young stems and respond well to regular coppicing or pollarding to maintain the youthful, blue look. Best in full sun and moist but well-drained, moderately fertile soil, it forms a compact, tidy tree compared with typical cider gum, with showy peeling bark and small creamy-white flowers on mature plants.
