Eucalyptus gunnii 'Azura' (PBR) - 3 Litre Pot
Eucalyptus trees such as this Eucalyptus gunnii 'Azura', are easy to grow when given a sunny, sheltered spot with moist, well-drained soil. Water them well during the first season, particularly if planted in containers. While they typically don’t require fertiliser in the garden, you may wish to use slow-release fertiliser in spring or summer for container-grown specimens. Azure produces small clusters of white flowers in the summer months.
Pruning helps maintain shape, encourage bushy growth, or correct poorly placed or unstable branches. It’s best to prune in March or April, with light summer pruning for size or shape adjustments. Avoid pruning in autumn or winter.
Eucalyptus gunnii 'Azura' is a compact and slower growing hardy variety of Eucalyptus tree (although still fast for a tree), known for its gorgeous evergreen silvery, round leaves, which are highly valued in floral arrangements. Native to Australia, this variety is prized for its unique foliage and aromatic fragrance, offering texture and contrast in gardens. It thrives in cooler climates and full sun, reaching heights of 4–8 meters. Its versatility makes it ideal for hedges, specimen trees, or as a backdrop in mixed plantings. This hardy tree adds modern style, year-round colour, and a low-maintenance option for gardeners.
