Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Cider Gum - Eucalyptus gunnii
Eucalyptus gunnii is one of the most refined natives available at advanced size, delivering immediate presence through its signature blue-grey foliage and elegant, upright form. More restrained in scale than most eucalypts, it suits a broad range of high-end projects without compromising on impact.
Why Cider Gum
Distinctive blue-grey foliage: Rounded juvenile leaves provide year-round colour and texture that few natives can match at scale.
Refined growth habit: Smaller and more architecturally controlled than most Eucalyptus species, without sacrificing presence.
Cold-hardy performance: One of the most frost-tolerant eucalypts available, reliable across temperate Australian climates.
Cut foliage value: Juvenile stems are sought after for high-end floral and decorative use, adding a practical dimension to landscape plantings.
Minimal intervention required: Once established at advanced size, demands very little ongoing maintenance.
Ideal Applications
Specimen feature planting: Commands attention as a standalone focal point in prestige residential and commercial landscapes.
Contemporary native schemes: Integrates seamlessly into modern Australian planting palettes favoured by landscape architects.
Structured avenue or grove planting: Repeated planting creates cohesive, high-impact corridors and mass compositions.
Constrained sites: Where a full-scale gum is inappropriate, Eucalyptus gunnii delivers native character within tighter spatial parameters.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 3 to 5m
Spacing (feature/avenue): 8 to 15m
Best Planting Season: Autumn to spring, avoiding peak summer heat
Soil & Drainage: Well-drained soils; tolerates poor, sandy or clay soils; moderately drought tolerant once established
Establishment Care: Water deeply once or twice a week for the first two summers to encourage deep root establishment, then reduce to occasional deep watering during dry periods. Avoid overwatering as eucalypts are susceptible to root rot in waterlogged conditions.
