Graceful, hardy and full of Australian character, Eucalyptus baueriana, commonly known as Blue Box, is a beautiful native tree admired for its attractive rough bark, broad blue-green foliage and elegant spreading canopy. Creamy-white flowers appear from late spring through summer, attracting birds, bees and other beneficial pollinators while adding subtle seasonal interest to the landscape. Its distinctive bark and naturally picturesque form make it a standout feature in both rural and residential gardens.
