  • Blue‑green, coin‑shaped juvenile leaves on pendulous stems—perfect for cut foliage and bouquets.
  • Fast‑growing evergreen that reaches about 35–40 ft. tall and wide in warm climates.
  • Heat, wind, and drought tolerant once established; thrives in full sun and well‑drained soil.
  • Versatile: grow as a rounded shrub, shade tree, windbreak, or in large containers for patios and bright indoor spaces.

Silver Dollar Tree (Eucalyptus cinerea) is prized for its striking blue‑green, coin‑shaped foliage and airy, pendulous stems that elevate floral arrangements as much as they do the landscape. In the garden, it’s a fast‑growing, evergreen accent or shade tree that handles heat, dry conditions, and wind once established. In containers, it makes a stylish, aromatic specimen for patios, conservatories, or bright interiors. Give it full sun and well‑drained soil, water regularly during the first season to establish deep roots, then reduce frequency—its waterwise nature and easy care shine in warm, dry climates.


Plant Description

Evergreen eucalyptus grown for dramatic blue‑green, coin‑shaped juvenile leaves on graceful, pendulous stems; fast growth and a rounded habit make it a standout feature or screen in warm regions.

Foliage

Opposite, round juvenile leaves with a silvery blue‑green cast; excellent for fresh cuts and arrangements; foliage fragrance is characteristic of eucalyptus.

Sun Requirements

Full sun (six or more hours of direct light) is optimal for dense growth, best color, and strongest stems.

Watering Needs

Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish; afterward, water during extended dry spells—avoid chronically wet soils.

Soil Requirements

Prefers well‑drained soil; slightly alkaline soils are acceptable. Mulch to moderate soil temperature and conserve moisture, keeping mulch away from the trunk.

Growth & Size

Fast growing; typically reaches about 35–40 ft. tall and wide in the landscape (USDA zones 8–10). Can be maintained smaller by pruning or grown in large containers.

Special Features

Dramatic foliage color, easy care, waterwise once established, coastal exposure tolerant; useful as windbreak, privacy screen, or shade tree.

Container & Indoor Use

Suitable for large containers on patios or in bright indoor spaces; provide strong light and regular watering; prune to manage size and encourage fresh juvenile foliage.

Landscape Uses

Ideal for modern xeric plantings, coastal gardens, large borders, windrows, and as an accent or grove to showcase its blue‑green color.

Care Instructions

Plant in full sun with well‑drained soil. Water consistently the first season; reduce frequency once established. Feed in spring before new growth. Prune after peak growth to shape or maintain a smaller outline; avoid heavy cuts into old wood.
