Description

Normally a slender upright grower, this Eucalyptus has an open form and grows up to 20'-80'. It is fairly fast growing. It sheds its bark annually with the result being a satin smooth white or dappled gray trunk. The long, gray green leaves have a sickle shape. This form is different than other species: it has vibrant, hot pink blossoms among the gray foliage from fall through winter. Eucalyptus varieties are highly combustible.
