Silver Dollar Gum. One of the most popular Eucalyptus. Best grown as a small to moderate sized specimen tree or can be grown in shrub form, even in a container. Generally composed of juvenile and intermediate leaves. Egg shaped, stalkless, silver grey in colour, with a fruity menthol eucalyptus scent prized by florists. Responds well to coppicing, pollarding and general pruning. Unpruned will quickly grow to 15m, so best to prune regularly. Very tolerant of different soils once established, plant in full sun.
