Eucalyptus cinerea ★ SILVER DOLLAR EUCALYPTUS

A fast-growing evergreen tree or large shrub with an upright, branching habit. In its juvenile stage (most commonly sold), it features distinctive round to oval “coin-shaped” leaves arranged oppositely along smooth, pale stems. The foliage is coated in a fine waxy bloom, giving it its signature silvery-blue appearance. As it matures, the plant may transition to more elongated leaves and develop a more open canopy with woody stems and a defined trunk. It responds well to pruning, which helps maintain its compact, leafy form. Advantages: • Striking silver-blue foliage that stands out in any setting • Naturally aromatic leaves with a fresh, calming scent • Fast-growing, quickly fills space and creates impact • Versatile: can be kept compact in pots or grown into a feature tree • Excellent for styling, landscaping or cut foliage arrangements Light Requirements: Full sun to very bright light. Requires plenty of light to maintain its compact form and vibrant foliage colour. Water Tolerance: Moderate to low. Drought-tolerant once established. Mature Height: 6 – 10 metres in landscape conditions; can be maintained at 1 – 3 metres with pruning or in containers. Mature Spread: 3 – 5 metres in the ground; more compact when container-grown or regularly pruned. Foliage/Flower Colour: Silvery-blue to grey-green round leaves. Small, creamy-white flowers
