Eucalyptus Gunnii - Unique, Rare, and Bright.
Also called Cider Gum, the Eucalyptus Gunnii is a tree you can grow indoors. It is a popular choice because of its aromatic leaves and beauty. The Royal Horticultural Society has even given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM)! This ornamental tree has truly earned its accolades.
Plant Personality & Aesthetic Appeal
Whether planted as a standout specimen in a landscaped garden or utilised in a large decorative pot, the Eucalyptus Gunnii effortlessly complements contemporary, minimalist, and rustic outdoor settings. When its leaves are still young, they are round and silvery-blue. When mature, they’ll become narrower and longer, with blue-green hues. Its leaves are aromatic, but only when crushed - it has a classic eucalyptus scent! This ornamental tree really does have a ton of personality. It’s no wonder that it’s loved by many.
Growth Behaviour & Size Potential
This ornamental tree is a fast grower and needs regular pruning. When grown in the best of conditions, it could grow big and strong, up to 9–12 metres! If you like yours to be more compact, pot-grown Eucalyptus Gunnii can also thrive. Prune your tree annually to maintain its shape or its juvenile foliage. This tree also blooms in summer and attracts pollinators. We’re sure you’ll love the small, white flowers it blooms.
Light Requirements & Adaptability
The Eucalyptus Gunnii is a tree, after all. That said, it loves the bright sunlight. It needs at least 6 hours of direct light every single day. It thrives in well-drained soil and adapts readily to urban and rural settings alike. While optimal performance is obtained in ample sunlight, it also tolerates moderate shade with a slight reduction in leaf brilliance. This tree can tolerate light frost, but sometimes it may die in hard freezes (it may still grow from the base, so keep your hopes up!).
Care Level & Maintenance Tips
The Eucalyptus Gunnii is remarkably low-maintenance once established. That means it can handle droughts once mature. While it’s still young, it needs regular watering, allowing the topsoil to dry slightly between sessions. You’ll want to fight waterlogging and root rot. This tree prefers well-draining soil but can tolerate dry, sandy soils. Feed lightly during the growing season to support the tree’s vigorous development. Again, this is a fast grower that needs pruning. And do keep this out of reach of pets and small children. This may be toxic if ingested!
