Description

This evergreen tree is graceful looking, reaching 30'-75' tall and 15'-45' wide, with a moderate growth rate. It has a slender, straight form with foliage that is grey-green in color and oval to round in shape. It needs full sun to grow well. Silver Dollar Gum is drought tolerant once it's established. Juvenile leaves are silver colored and round, thus the common name.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
