It comes from the tablelands and subalpine country of south eastern Australia, so it is one of the toughest cold climate trees available, shrugging off hard frost and snow load. In a garden it stays modest in size and lets plenty of light through to whatever grows beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Snow Gum\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrunk Colour\u003c\/strong\u003e: Mottled white, silver, olive and coppery streaking that changes through the year as the bark sheds.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSculptural Habit\u003c\/strong\u003e: Naturally leaning, multi branched growth that reads as a mature landscape feature within a decade.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtreme Cold Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Native to snow country, handling severe frost and snow that would kill most ornamental trees.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpen Canopy\u003c\/strong\u003e: Thick leathery leaves are held sparsely, so grass and understorey planting continue beneath it.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModest Scale\u003c\/strong\u003e: Considerably smaller than most eucalypts, keeping it usable on a suburban block in cool districts.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCool Climate Feature Tree\u003c\/strong\u003e: A single specimen where the trunk can be seen and lit at night.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHighland Gardens\u003c\/strong\u003e: A natural fit for gardens in the Snowy Mountains, central Tasmania and the Victorian high country.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrouped Grove\u003c\/strong\u003e: Planted in threes or fives to build a stand of contrasting trunks.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNative Framework\u003c\/strong\u003e: Used as the canopy layer over grasses and low shrubs in an indigenous style garden.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 to 4m for a grove\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 to 8m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring in cold districts, once the worst frosts have passed\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prefers well drained soils but tolerates cold heavy ground and winter wet, and it performs poorly in hot humid coastal summers\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstablishment Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water deeply once a week through the first summer and then only in prolonged dry spells.
