About Eucalyptus gunnii ‘Blue Ice’:

Distinctive foliage: Features silvery-blue juvenile leaves that are highly aromatic and visually striking .

Structural beauty: Displays flaking bark in shades of grey, cream, and pinkish-grey, which peels to reveal a smooth pale surface—adding year-round interest .

Elegant flowering: Produces clusters of creamy-white blooms in midsummer, which are both attractive and fragrant .

Growth potential: In time, this tree can reach 10–12 m tall with a spread of 6–8 m .

Care & Culture:
