Eucalyptus approximans

Also known as: Information to be completed

An attractive small, often multistemmed tree, reaching no more than 6m (20ft) in height when mature. The bark is white, grey or pinkish-brown and sheds in strips on the upper branches. Bears long, slightly sickle-shaped, glossy green leaves, that are red along with the stems when young. Tolerant of pruning and may therefore be grown in containers, unlike other larger growing members of the genus.

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.
