Eucalyptus gunnii ‘Azura’ – 10Ltr Pot

Eucalyptus gunnii ‘Azura’ is a compact, bushy cultivar of the iconic Cider Gum, prized for its silvery-blue foliage, smooth pewter bark, and versatile growth habit. Perfect for small gardens, hedging, or as a feature shrub-on-a-stick, it combines dwarf stature with classic eucalyptus charm.

Key Features

  • Compact, bushy habit ideal for small gardens or containers

  • Juvenile silvery-blue foliage remains attractive with some pink and silver highlights

  • Produces white flowers followed by gum nuts, adding seasonal interest

  • Smooth, peeling bark in pewter, cream, olive, or pink-brown tones

  • Hardy to -14°C to -16°C, exceptionally robust for a eucalyptus

  • Versatile: can be grown as a small tree, bushy shrub, or ‘shrub-on-a-stick’

Product Description

Eucalyptus gunnii ‘Azura’ is a dwarf form of the classic Cider Gum, with much smaller genes than its larger relatives. Its juvenile leaves are rounded and silvery-blue, turning elliptical as the tree matures while retaining a dense, bushy appearance. New growth in summer shows subtle pink and silvery-white highlights, giving the foliage a lively, textured effect.

This versatile eucalyptus can be grown taller as a small screening tree reaching 5m or pruned to maintain a compact, bushy shrub, perfect for smaller gardens. Its smooth, flaking bark reveals beautiful tones of cream, pewter, and pale gold, while white flowers and gum nuts provide seasonal interest. Regular pruning encourages the rounded juvenile foliage, making it especially attractive for cut foliage arrangements.

With a slow to moderate growth rate, E. gunnii ‘Azura’ typically grows 60–90cm per year, and its long-term height is around 10m — significantly smaller than standard Eucalyptus gunnii. Its resilience and hardiness make it suitable for most UK gardens, thriving in well-drained soil and full sun.
