Argyle Apple, Silver Dollar Tree
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.
Eucalyptus belongs to the Myrtaceae family, which includes popular shrubs and trees such as Feijoa (Acca sellowiana), Myrtle (Myrtus communis), and bottlebrush (Callistemon spp.).
