10 Seeds Eucalyptus gunnii Cider Gum Cold Hardy Evergreen Tree
Eucalyptus gunnii, commonly known as Cider Gum, is a fast-growing evergreen tree prized for its rounded, silvery-blue juvenile foliage and upright, aromatic habit. Native to the cool highlands of Tasmania, it is among the most cold-tolerant eucalyptus species and is widely grown as an ornamental specimen in temperate gardens.
Its distinctive juvenile leaves are popular in floral arrangements and crafts, while mature trees develop a tall, elegant canopy that provides year-round structure and shelter in the landscape. The foliage is aromatic when crushed and works well in dried arrangements and seasonal decorating.
