Eucalyptus Tetragona (17cm)

2-3m high.  One of the shrubby Mallees, usually a straggly bush but noted for its lovely silvery grey-blue foliage and mealy white buds, stems and bark.  Flowers are white or cream, appearing mainly in Summer.  If trained to a bushy shrub, this is a very ornamental foliage plant which is suited to most soils.  Can suffer from caterpillar damage.  Used in floral arrangements.
