Growing slowly into a broad, waist-high mound, its upright branches are densely furnished with small, oval, toothed, glossy dark green leaves. The leaves emit a sweet fragrance in warm weather.

(Eucalyptus)

Closely related to the better-known Eucalyptus nicholii, this native of eastern Australia makes an excellent medium-sized street, park or shade tree. Occurring on sandy ridges and slopes over a small area of New South Wales, it typically forms a rather sparsely branched tree in the wild. In fertile garden soil it grows more rapidly and densely.

The horizontal to ascending, gray to gray-green branches bear narrow drooping gray-green leaves that smell of peppermint when bruised. Cut...

(Argyle Apple, Silver Dollar Tree)

A tidy small tree with handsome evergreen foliage, this well known eucalyptus from eastern Australia is ideal for arid regions where water conservation is paramount. Denser and more compact than most of its eucalypt kin, it is prized for its round silver-gray juvenile leaves. The foliage and stems are coated with a white bloom which gives them an ashen, ghostly appearance. The leaves emit a pleasing fragrance when bruised. Older specimens may produce long lance-shaped leaves. The flowers are insignificant....
