Nursery contributed plant descriptions

If a eucalyptus that will not get too enormous is what you're looking for, consider this species, which is expected to max out at a modest 40' in cultivation. Belonging to the white gums (E. viminalis and friends), it forms a rather dense crown of attractive, weeping, narrow blue or blue-green leaves. Native to a rather restricted area in the wild, this may be its first offering in the United States, and it may be available only infrequently - get 'em while they're hot! It is not difficult to grow and will tolerate a variety of soils, growing vigorously. Hardy to about 5 °F.
