Pet safety guideAbout Silver Dollar Eucalyptus
Silverdollar Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus cinerea) is an Australian evergreen tree prized for its distinctive round to oval, silver-blue juvenile leaves that are used extensively in floral arrangements and wreaths. Mature trees develop more lance-shaped leaves, peeling bark, and small white flowers, and the foliage releases a camphor-like fragrance when crushed.

Care essentials
Silver dollar eucalyptus requires full sun and performs best in open, unobstructed sites. In NE Florida zone 9b it grows vigorously; plant away from structures to accommodate its rapid spread.
Water regularly during the establishment period; once established, silver dollar eucalyptus is highly drought tolerant and requires little supplemental irrigation in NE Florida's summer rainy season. Avoid poorly drained sites to prevent root rot.
Thrives in well-drained sandy or loamy soil; avoid heavy clay or wet sites. Minimal fertilization is needed once established; a light application of balanced fertilizer in spring supports young trees during rapid establishment growth.
