Eucalyptus cinerea – Penny Gum
Product Description
Eucalyptus cinerea, commonly known as Penny Gum, is a popular evergreen tree valued for its attractive round, silvery-blue leaves and fast growth. It is widely used for ornamental planting, windbreaks, screening, and as a foliage source for floral arrangements. The tree has a striking, rounded canopy and is especially sought after for its unique foliage texture and colour.
Size When Fully Grown
- Height: Typically 8 m – 15 m
- Spread: Approximately 4 m – 8 m
- In ideal conditions it can grow taller and develop a broader canopy.
Best Growing Conditions
- Light: Full sun is ideal for best foliage colour and strong growth.
- Soil: Well-drained soil; tolerates a wide range of soil types, including sandy and loamy soils.
- Watering: Regular watering while establishing. Once established, it is drought tolerant and can cope with dry conditions.
- Temperature: Prefers warm climates and is tolerant of coastal conditions. Protect young trees from severe frost.
- Feeding: Light application of a balanced fertiliser in spring can support growth.
- Pruning: Can be pruned lightly to shape; best done in late winter or early spring. Avoid heavy pruning as this can stress the tree.
Seasonal Guidance (South Africa)
- Best Time to Plant: Autumn or spring, allowing the tree to establish before extreme heat or frost.
- Growing Season: Active growth occurs in spring and summer.
- Foliage Season: Provides year-round interest due to evergreen leaves.
- Flowering Season: Flowers typically appear in late spring to summer, depending on local climate.
- Winter Care: Reduce watering during winter and protect young trees from frost.
