Eucalyptus Glaucescens (Tingiringi Gum)

Common Name: Tingiringi Gum

Species: Glaucescens

Exposure: Full sun

Hardiness: Fully Hardy

Soil type: Tolerates a wide variety of soil types

Strikingly silver round juvenile leaves packed closely on the stems and peeling white bark characterize this extremely hardy evergreen tree. It usually grows very fast and fairly tall (to 12 - 30m, depending on soil and exposure) in cultivation, and tolerates a wide variety of soils. The tree's bark is usually green when young turning white or silver when older. An excellent species for cut foliage, it is very attractive at all stages of growth (even the adult leaves shimmer in the wind).
