Long-lived, Eucalyptus pauciflora (Snow Gum) is a small to medium-sized evergreen tree of spreading habit, boasting beautiful twisted branches adorned with creamy-white, pale gray and green smooth bark, peeling in cinnamon strips. The bark is red on young branches, creating a glorious display. The fresh scented foliage of adult leaves is glossy, gray-green, up to 8 in. long (20 cm). In spring and summer, abundant clusters of 9-15 white flowers are borne amongst the foliage, followed by large gum-nuts. This Eucalyptus makes a lovely specimen tree, street tree and is perfect in parks and medium to large gardens where its lovely bark can be admired.
