EUCALYPTUS G. FRANCE BLEUE

Eucalyptus gunnii ‘France Bleu’ is a compact selection admired for its dense, bushy habit and attractive glaucous-blue juvenile foliage held on smaller leaves than typical E. gunnii. An evergreen with year-round colour, it performs best in full sun and moderately fertile, well-drained soil. Strong structure and clean lines make it a good choice as a small specimen or architectural accent, and it can be pruned to maintain size and shape as required.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
