silver-leaved mountain gum 'Baby Blue'

A slow-growing, compact evergreen tree, growing to 3-4m (10-13ft) in height, making it more suitable to grow in smaller gardens, than many other eucalypts. Both the juvenile and adult foliage is round and an intense silver blue. It is one of the most widely used eucalypts in flower arranging. The foliage and stems have a very strong eucalyptus aroma. Flowers are white and appear in winter and spring.
