Ghost gum is one of the moderately-sized Eucalyptus species, eventually reaching 40' x 20' wide. Tree form can vary from a shorter, multi-trunk specimen to a narrow, single-trunk tree. Plants are somewhat frost tender, but tolerate full sun, reflected heat, neglect, and a wide range of soil types. Has a semi-weeping habit and produces little litter.

Water Saving Tip:
Even during our hottest months we don't need to water daily.
Give your plants a chance to breathe.
Water late at night or in the early morning hours to avoid losses to wind and evaporation.
