This evergreen tree is graceful looking, reaching 25"-75' tall and 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.

Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball just above ground level. 3. Mix soil with 25% amendment and %75 soil. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build basin and water.
