Skinny Minny Hardy Eucalyptus Tree (Eucalyptus Moorei) – Quart Pot

The smallest of the hardy Eucalyptus we offer, all grown up ‘Skinny Minny’ reaches about 12 feet height but with age and in ideal conditions might reach 18 feet tall. Its smaller size lends well to growing as a large shrub or lower branches can be removed to form a very attractive small tree. The fragrant blue-green leaves are very “skinny” on this one, hence the name, and provide a unique, soft texture all its own in the landscape. What’s more, the smooth bark with silver to cream furrows peels off a cinnamon color to reveal white underbark. Excellent for the landscape or in pots, planters and other containers. 

In McDonough, GA (zone 8A) 10 month old Eucalyptus trees, in pots and in ground, had no stress signs after a winter where temps reached in the low 20’s. 

Suggested Spacing:  6 feet apart for hedge; 12 feet or more apart for space between plants

Note:  For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 8a, where this Eucalyptus is not winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
