Eucalyptus cinerea (Argyle Apple) is an evergreen tree of rounded habit, boasting a lovely fibrous or furrowed, reddish-brown bark which peels on smaller stems. The aromatic foliage is silvery blue-green and rounded when juvenile, resembling large coins. The adult leaves are long, narrow and mid-green. In spring, abundant clusters of white flowers are borne amongst the foliage. Long-lived, this Eucalyptus tolerates exposed conditions and has a high tolerance to drought. It is prized as a garden specimen for its ornamental bark and elegant foliage. In cold climates, it is commonly grown in containers as a shrub or an annual. The stems adorned with juvenile leaves are frequently used in bouquets and flower arrangements by florists.
