Azura Cider Gum Tree Italian Plants (Eucalyptus Gunnii Azura)

Azura Cider Gum Tree Italian Plants Description

The Azura Cider Gum Tree is a compact, evergreen tree that brings distinctive beauty and year round interest to gardens. A smaller variety of the well known Cider Gum, Azura retains the aromatic, cider like scent of its larger counterpart, paired with attractive silvery blue foliage. This hardy, fast growing tree typically reaches a height of 4 to 6 metres (13 to 20 feet), making it ideal for smaller gardens or as an ornamental feature in larger landscapes.

Pruning Advice

Best Time to Prune: Prune in late winter or early spring before the new growth begins, ensuring that you do not cut into any new shoots.

Light Pruning: Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to improve the overall appearance and health of the tree. This will also help increase airflow and reduce the risk of disease.

Shaping: If desired, you can lightly trim the top or sides to maintain a compact form. However, avoid heavy pruning, as this can affect its natural shape and beauty.

Removal of Seed Pods: After flowering, remove any old seed capsules if they are not desired for propagation or aesthetic purposes.
