Description

This Eucalyptus variety is usually an upright grower, slender and open, reaching heights of 20'-80'. It is fairly fast growing. It sheds bark annually, with the result being a satin smooth, white trunk and sometimes dappled gray. Peeling bark can be litter nuisance. Long, gray green, aromatic leaves have sickle shape. White flowers appear in winter or spring, followed by green capsule fruit appearing in spring or summer. This tree is drought and seaside tolerant. It attracts birds and bees but not deer.
