With its glaucous, rounded, wonderfully fragrant leaves and peeling cream bark, Eucalyptus gunnii (also known as the cider gum tree) is among the very best ornamental trees. This plant has been trained as a mini standard (a clear-stemmed tree topped with a bushy head of foliage) to be grown either in the open ground or a large container. Alongside its fantastic evergreen foliage, this tree also produces dainty white flower clusters during the summer. While this tree can reach an ultimate height of six metres or so left unpruned, most people will keep it nice and compact (at around two metres tall). A recipient of the RHS's Award of Garden Merit, this plant has been proven to perform well in British gardens. Our mature trees are grown in Air-Pots®, the only type of pot to completely eliminate root circling. A unique design stimulates air pruning for a mass of healthy fibrous roots, which results in a healthy tree that will establish quickly in your garden. With each Air-Pot® made to last up to 20 years, we reuse them on the nursery and wrap your mature tree in hessian for delivery - but if you’d rather keep your tree potted, simply add an Air-Pot® to your basket along with your tree.
