Eucalyptus Gunnii, also known as Cider Gum, is a fast-growing evergreen tree that is native to Australia but is also popular in the UK as a garden tree. This tree is prized for its ornamental features, including its attractive blue-grey foliage and its ability to reach impressive heights.

Eucalyptus Gunnii is best grown in a sunny and sheltered position in the garden, in well-draining soil that is not too acidic. It is a relatively low-maintenance tree that is tolerant of drought and can handle some exposure to wind. It is important to note that this tree can grow quite large, so it is best suited to larger gardens or open spaces.

This tree typically flowers in the summer months, producing small, white or cream-colored flowers that are followed by woody, urn-shaped seed pods. While the flowers are not particularly showy, they do add a delicate touch to the tree’s overall aesthetic.

Eucalyptus Gunnii can grow up to 15 meters in height with a spread of up to 10 meters, depending on growing conditions. It responds well to pruning and can be kept smaller if desired.

To ensure the best growth and health of Eucalyptus Gunnii, it is recommended to fertilize it with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring and early summer. This will help promote healthy growth and support the tree’s overall vigor.
