Description

Eucalyptus cinerea, commonly known as Silver Dollar Gum or Argyle Apple, is a medium-sized evergreen tree native to southeastern Australia, including New South Wales, Victoria, the Australian Capital Territory, Queensland, and South Australia. It features striking, round, silvery-blue juvenile leaves and lance-shaped adult foliage, both prized in floral arrangements. The tree has rough, fibrous bark and produces clusters of white flowers from May to November (Djilba to Kambarang). Ideal for Perth's climate, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making it suitable for garden beds, windbreaks, or as a feature tree.

Once established, Eucalyptus cinerea is drought-tolerant, requiring minimal watering. Young trees benefit from regular deep watering to develop strong roots. Pruning can maintain its compact form and encourage the production of desirable juvenile foliage. Its aromatic leaves are often used in dried arrangements and potpourri. While not commonly used for timber, its wood can serve in firewood or small woodworking projects.
