Description
Eucalyptus horistes is an attractive mallee 8-12m with smooth white or greyish bark. A real feature of this lovely small tree is the silvery grey, heart shaped juvenile foliage. This foliage can be kept by coppicing the tree. Mature foliage is dark green and more elongated. Creamy white flowers between November and January. Full sun or part shade, adaptable to most well drained soils. Drought and frost hardy once established. Juvenile foliage can be used with cut flowers.
