Shears Nursery Eucalyptus Gunni

Eucalyptus Gunni

Pack of 6 plants

Many eucalyptus species produce
two kinds of foliage: the long
sickle-shaped leaves of adult
branches, and the lush
rounded leaves distinctive of
young shoots. They are naturally
trees, sometimes reaching a great
height, but in gardens regular firm
annual pruning can keep them as
large shrubs and maintain a supply
of the juvenile foliage enjoyed by
gardeners and flower arrangers.
Only a few species are reliably
hardy, and of these E. gunnii is
the most popular. Cold winds are
more injurious than frost, and
plants are best grown in sunny
sheltered spots.

The Royal Horticultural Society
has given it its prestigious Award
of Garden Merit (AGM).

Grown for their stunning leaf and
bark colour, and leaf aroma.
