I am Silver Dollar Gum. My family originated from Southern NSW
| My new growth when young or cut back is a glaucous, powdery looking blue-green, and egg shaped leading to one of my common names “Silver Dollar” gum/tree.
Not coppiced or cut back I will mature to a medium sized elegant tree with silver foliage and fibrous fissured bark. I can be maintained at a small size and having a lignotuber can be cut back hard, reshooting from a coppiced stump. This is often done to allow my silver dollar foliage to be harvested for use in floral arrangements making me highly sought after in the cut flower industry. I produce masses of fluffy white flowers anytime between May and November. Hardy I tolerate poor soils, drought, frost and cold. I am suited to exposed locations and for use as a windbreak. |
