About This Plant

Eucalyptus parvifolia (Small Leaf Gum), 'Small Leaf Gum' is valued in the landscape for character, form, and seasonal interest.

Small-leaved Gum , compact hardier eucalyptus with smaller foliage; suitable as a feature small tree.

Full sun suits this species. Plant in well-drained soil. Hardy USDA Zone 7 to 10. Hardier than most eucalyptus; avoid heavy wet soils.

For a Pacific Northwest native tree of similar character, consider Acer macrophyllum (Bigleaf Maple) for canopy, Cornus nuttallii (Pacific Dogwood) for spring bloom, or Arbutus menziesii (Pacific Madrone) for evergreen sculpture and red bark.
