narrow-leaved Sally

Also known as: Information to be completed

A fast-growing evergreen tree reaching a height of 6-7m (20-23ft) in height if allowed to grow naturally. The smooth, highly ornamental bark is silver and cinnamon brown with cream striations and is regularly shed in strips, to reveal white bark beneath. The ovate, juvenile foliage is blue-green aging to a glossy rich green. Adult foliage is sickle shaped and glossy green with bright goleden yellow petioles. The foliage is strongly aromatic. Large groups of golden yellow buds, often up to 15 in a cluster, open to reveal creamy-white flowers in autumn

Watering

Moderate regular watering, allowing brief slight drying between soakings

Fertilizing

Balanced perennial feed every four weeks from spring through summer

Pruning

Little pruning is needed. Remove diseased, damaged, crowded or crossing shoots and unwanted growth. Timing depends on the plant: generally late winter or early spring; plants prone to bleeding and deciduous magnolias need different timing, and deciduous azaleas and lilacs are pruned after flowering.

Propagation

Propagate by seed or semi-ripe cuttings

Growing

Grows best in slightly acidic, moist but well drained soil in full sun, but unlike many other eucalypts will also tolerate wetter soils. Shelter from cold, drying winds especially when young. See eucalyptus cultivation
