The detail

Eucalyptus Gunnii, also known as Cider Gum, is a highly sought-after evergreen shrub or small tree prized for its distinctive blue-green juvenile foliage, refreshing aromatic scent and graceful architectural habit. This hardy, fast-growing variety provides reliable year-round colour and structure, making it an excellent choice for modern landscapes, mixed borders, screening, or statement feature planting.

Supplied as a strong, established plant in a generous 19cm / 3L pot, Eucalyptus Gunnii establishes quickly and can be grown either as a compact shrub through regular pruning or allowed to develop into a slender, elegant tree. Its resilient nature, low-maintenance growth habit and ability to thrive in the UK climate make it a valuable addition to gardens, patios and larger outdoor spaces.
