Plants can be coppiced to maintain a smaller size as well as the attractive, juvenile foliage or grown into multi-trunked trees, quickly reaching 30 ft, with flaking bark and long, narrow adult leaves to 6" with juvenile foliage showing as well. Requires full sun, lean and well-drained soil, and little summer water once established. Easy and very frost hardy, to 0 °F, USDA Zone 7, or lower.

Here is the amazing thing about Eucalpts in zone 7. Even huge trees will freeze to the ground--and grow back almost to the original size immediately. Check it out: http://www.angelfire.com/bc/eucalyptus/perriniana.html

This gum with rounded leaves grows 15-30' and is best cut back and kept as a shrub to enjoy the foliage. Leaves are silver, and many small white flowers appear in spring. A nice one to use in arrangements!
