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.
