{"product_id":"eucalyptus-tree","title":"Eucalyptus Tree","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe cider gum — \u003cem\u003eEucalyptus gunnii\u003c\/em\u003e — brings something no other hardy tree does: a cloud of rounded, silver-blue foliage, aromatic when brushed, evergreen through the British winter. In a large pot on a sunny terrace it reads as instant Mediterranean structure; in the ground it becomes a fast, graceful screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA young tree, honestly sold.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a young eucalyptus — quick to establish and quick to reward, but it wants one thing from you: a confident prune each spring. Cut back hard and it thickens into a dense, self-supporting silver bush that keeps the rounded juvenile foliage florists prize. Left unpruned, eucalyptus grows tall and leggy — so we'll say what most sellers won't: buy it planning to prune it. Our care guide shows you exactly how.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest space \u0026amp; place.\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun, and shelter from strong wind while young. Happy in a large container (ø45cm+, heavy for stability) with loam-based compost and sharp drainage — a pot keeps it to an elegant 2–3m. Hardy to around −15°C once established.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatering \u0026amp; feeding.\u003c\/strong\u003e Water generously in its first two summers, then it becomes impressively drought-tolerant.
