Botanical Name: Eucalyptus gunnii var. divaricata.     Family: Myrtaceae

Common Name: 'Blue Ice' Cider Gum

Status: Evergreen Tree

Origin: a species of Eucalyptus endemic to Tasmania, occurring on the plains and slopes of the central plateaux to around 1100 metres, with isolated occurrences south of Hobart

Origin of the name Cider Gum:  this variety produces a sweet sap which can be tapped in a similar way to maple syrup.  We have read that the Aborigine people of Australia ferment this liquid to produce a cider-like alcoholic beverage.

Description, habit,  uses and attributes: An extremely hardy and versatile variety, which can be grown as a specimen tree or a bushy shrub.  Like most Eucalypts, as the plant matures the juvenile foliage is lost in favour of the elongated adult leaves, so keep it pruned if you want to maintain those lovely round leaves for flower arranging, a more manageable tree or bushy garden shrub.
