Eucalyptus - Eucalyptus pulchella (syn. E. linearis)

Eucalyptus pulchella - a spectacular variety endemic to Tasmania, which impresses with its silver-blue foliage. The leaves are thin and long, delicate, and at maturity they reach a length of up to 12 cm, with a width of approx. 1 cm. It is an easy-to-grow, compact, well-branched, evergreen shrub, with rapid growth and high resistance to low temperatures.

Eucalyptus is a natural fly and mosquito repellent, which is why it is often grown on patios or in gardens. Due to its resistance, it is also used as a forest screen, to cover fences, etc.

The foliage is frequently used in floral arrangements and bouquets, due to its specific appearance and fragrance - the plants are pruned several times a year, and then branch rapidly. In some countries, this variety is grown and exploited extensively for its hard wood that can be used in construction, for furniture or as fuel. The sap extracted from this tree is a good insecticide and natural repellent.

Other common names: Eucalyptus linearis (synonym), White Peppermint

It does not require special soil and is resistant to diseases and pests, being considered naturally "pest free". It withstands temperatures down to -20 °C, without the need for winter protection.

The decorative ceramic vase is not included in the price.

Height with pot included: approx. 50 cm

Recommendation : We recommend planting eucalyptus in the garden or in large pots, placed outside during the summer. It is an outdoor plant and does not perform well in small pots for the long term. Do not expose the plant to strong sunlight before planting.
