Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Eucalyptus pleurocarpa is one of several mallee Eucalyptus that we grow. All are well behaved and have numerous features that endear it to gardeners. This one in particular glows in the garden with its pale green leaves dusted with white power and rigid, square shaped stems. The flowers are fine but not the reason to grow this stunner.
