Square Foot Gardening Store | Raised Bed Planters, Square Foot Gardening Grids, Square Foot Gardening Boxes. Eucalyptus gunnii. Cultivation and uses[edit] See also Tasmanian Aborigines - Oyster Bay Tribe Juvenile foliage of the cultivar 'Silver Drop' This species is noted for exceptional cold tolerance for a eucalyptus (to −14 °C, exceptionally −20 °C for brief periods) and is now commonly planted as an ornamental tree across the British Isles and some parts of western Europe.[3] Fast-growing, it will produce a tree up to 37 m (121 ft) tall when mature,[4] with growth rates of up to 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) (rarely 2 m (6 ft 7 in)) per year. Pruning can be employed to maintain the tree as a small shrub if required and more shaded spots will restrict growth.

It does not grow well on sandy/chalky soils or very wet sites. The foliage will change as the tree matures from a round leaf of waxy blue colour to a more elongated rich green foliage in the older tree but if maintained as a shrub the juvenile foliage will be retained. This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[5] References[edit]

This work draws on notions of order, ordering nature, collecting, naming, arranging, systems, planned structures and taxonomies and in a sense the garden as a taming or management of nature.
