Looking for a hardy and unique tree to add to your landscape? Look no further than the Eucalyptus pauciflora, also known as the snow gum or white sallee. Native to eastern Australia, this small tree or large shrub grows 4-8m tall (occasionally up to 20m!), and is amongst the hardiest of all eucalyptus species, surviving the severe winter temperatures of the Australian Alps. The smooth, white to light grey or brown-red bark sheds in patches or strips, giving the tree a mottled appearance. In spring and summer, the snow gum is covered in a mass of beautiful white flowers, making it a stunning addition to any garden. This tree adapts to the weight of snow by bending its branches so the outermost branches extend vertically down, causing snow to fall off its leaves. Choose the Eucalyptus pauciflora, prized by gardeners for its unique survival techniques and striking beauty.
