Silver-leaved Mountain Gum (shrub form) This is the shrub-form of 'Baby Blue'. It is a small-growing eucalypt usually seen as a tall, spreading shrub that retains its juvenile foliage into maturity. Young leaves, stems and inflorescences have a powdery white bloom. Foliage is strikingly silvery-grey and round in form. Cream flowers are produced between May and November and the large fruits that follow are cup-shaped. We prune the shrub-form of 'Baby Blue' to force division on the branches making it grow shorter and with wider lateral branching as shown. This is a great accent tree/shrub with very distinctive foliage. Requires well drained soil. Eucalypts require very little attention once established. Although the plant will continue to grow without fertiliser, it will tend to produce more leaves and flowers if fed. |
