Eucalyptus - Eucalyptus urnigera (Urn Tree)

Eucalyptus urnigera, known as the Urn Tree due to the shape of the fruits, is a remarkable tree native to Tasmania. It is distinguished by its silver-green, glossy leaves, which emit a strong and pleasant smell when crushed. The tree has a fast growth and can reach impressive heights, offering a special visual spectacle in any landscape.

Eucalyptus urnigera produces white or cream bell-shaped flowers that are attractive to bees and other pollinating insects. Its bark is smooth and peels off in strips, revealing layers of pale colors that add extra interest. Due to its resistance to cold, it is more adaptable to temperate climates than other eucalyptus species, being a popular choice for gardens in colder areas.

Besides its aesthetic value, Eucalyptus urnigera is used in the production of essential oils and has applications in traditional medicine. It is also appreciated for its ability to adapt to different types of soil and for its air purifying properties, making it not only a beautiful tree, but also a useful one.

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

Height with pots included: approx. 40-60+ cm (varies depending on the season)

In the warm season, these plants can arrive at their destination with damaged foliage (dry tips/leaves) - this aspect is due to transport and represents only an aesthetic defect.

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

The transport pots in which the plants come are fragile and can break during handling and transport.
