Eucalipt - Eucalyptus subcrenulata (Alpine Yellow Gum)

Eucalyptus subcrenulata, also known as the small-leaved alpine eucalyptus or "Alpine Yellow Gum," is a eucalyptus species native to Tasmania, Australia. It is a medium-sized tree that can reach up to 30 meters in height.

The bark is fibrous, brown or gray-silver, and may remain on the trunk or peel off in strips or sheets. The leaves are dark green, glossy, and lance-shaped.

The flowers appear between December and March in Australia (during summer in Romania), are white in color, and are followed by conical or oval fruits with a ridged edge.

Eucalyptus subcrenulata commonly grows in moist forests and coastal areas. It can tolerate a wide range of soil conditions, including poor and clay soils.

The tree has considerable economic value, being used in the timber industry for producing lumber, furniture, and construction. It is also cultivated for ornamental purposes and is valuable for local ecosystems due to its appeal to native wildlife.

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

Height including pot: approx. 60+ cm (varies depending on the season)

The appearance of the leaves and the level of branching can vary from one specimen to another – eucalyptus leaves change as they mature. In the warm season, these plants may arrive with affected foliage (tips/dry leaves) – this is due to transport and represents only an aesthetic flaw.

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