    Pollarding them [eucalyptus]  each year helps retain the foliage colour, and will keep it to a better size if you have a small space @jodyshirto.
    I'm assuming it's E. gunnii as that's the most commonly available one in the UK   :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
  • Yes it is an eucalyptus gunni called Silverana @Fairygirl

    Yes - plant out and keep it pollarded each year. It helps retain the colour of the juvenile foliage as well as restricting the eventual size. 
    It would need a very large container to get the best from it. A purpose built one really.  :)

    It is one of my favourite plants :)
