Properties and uses:
The Snow Gum Eucalyptus Tree (Eucalyptus niphophila) displays an umbrella of white blossom from May onwards. The foliage is excellent for flower arranging. Its leaves are elongated with a bluish green colour and can be up to 10 cm long by only 2 cm wide. It has an extremely decorative green-cream and grey bark. This Eucalyptus likes to be watered frequently when young. It can be planted either on its own or as part of a group of Eucalyptus and it will thrive in smaller gardens, its adult size being less imposing than the size of the Eucalyptis Gunnii.

Numerous advantages
The Eucalyptus belongs to the rare category of blue-foliage trees, a characteristic which we only also find in conifers. The trunk becomes white with age which makes it look really appealing. It resists nearly everything: drought, scorching sun, sea wind and even forest fires as it can grow again from the base if its branches disappear. As for the cold-resistance side, it all the more as important as the specimen is well placed. In a pot and without any protection it will only resist to temperatures of less than -5 °C whereas a well-established specimen grown in the ground (for at least 5 years) will withstand temperatures of-15 °C and even more without suffering any damage. Add to this a rapid growth: only the giant Bamboos (Phyllostachys) grow quicker than a Eucalyptus tree! It can produce growth of 2 to 3 m during the year which is already invaluable to create a screening-hedge rapidly.

In the garden
All Eucalyptus trees are grown in the same way. Planting is done as for evergreen shrubs, that is to say without untangling the roots’ ball, but letting the pot soak in water for one hour before planting. Water regularly the young tree during its first years in summer so that its roots establish well and become self-sufficient regarding watering. This tree is able to find water several metres deep; therefore it is not recommended to plant one near underground-pipes.

If it becomes too bulky, the Eucalyptus tree can be easily be pruned. Cut the unwanted branches to gain space or pollard the main branch to encourage the specimen to grow widthways rather than height ways. This operation is vital when you wish to create a screening-hedge. You can also top the specimen in cutting all its branches 5cm from the ground: a young, highly blue foliage forms the following weeks: florists proceed this way in order to get the most beautiful Eucalyptus foliage’s to put in their flowers arrangements! In case of strong frost and in cold-areas, the Eucalyptus tree is sometimes treated as a decorative-foliage shrub, a role that also suits it very well.

In pot
Opt for a large container of at least 30L. Once the Eucalyptus has been placed into it, it is worth installing an automatic watering system as it will not be able to send its roots look for water in depth. Prune it regularly as it does not age well when grown in a pot. Cut it right back every two to three years. As for fertilisers, a supply every two to three months is sufficient, depending on the specimen’s growth.
