Eucalyptus gunnii are from Tasmania and so require plenty of sunshine and will tolerate poor, dry soils. Their attractive, rounded, silver-blue foliage becomes slightly more elliptical as they mature, turning shades of grey, blue and green. On mature trees the bark peels showing a display of creams, greens, greys and browns, providing year round interest. These trees are very popular in the UK for their fast-growing, evergreen screening but beware they are very vigorous and should be planted with plenty of space in mind so that they don't invade any privacy.
