Growing Eucalyptus gunnii
Rated at H5 hardiness, it'll grow in most locations in the UK that receive full sun and are sheltered. Tolerant of a range of soils and conditions, but is happiest in a fertile, neutral-acid soil.
If left to its own devices, it'll quickly become a very large tree, so, unless you want that, tough love is the best way to deal with it: keep it hard-pruned as a shrub from the start. This will promote new growth carrying the loveliest immature leaves. It coppices especially well (cut to a low stool), and could be pollarded as a lollipop with a little extra pruning (cut back to a trunk about 1.5-2 metres high).
Garden Design Ideas
Wherever you want magical blue foliage to fill a sunny corner, this is the right choice!
History & Trivia
The eagle-eyed French Forestry Commission spotted this variety as a reject for forestry but a keeper for the garden.
