Description
Eucalyptus dalrympleana or Mountain White Gum is native to Australia. With rapid growth, it forms a large, majestic tree with an upright, broad, imposing habit over time. Its characteristic fragrant foliage has hints of cinnamon. Its blue-green leaves are lanceolate, pendulous, and incurved. You will also appreciate its smooth and white bark, which exfoliates in patches, marbled with grey, pink or olive green in the autumn. Its lovely white pompom-like flowers appear in spring. An ideal species for large gardens, happy in most regions, since it is hardy down to -15° C. It tolerates a slightly chalky soil.
Eucalyptus dalrympleana is a species native to Australia, from the east of New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania. Like all Eucalyptus, it belongs to the Myrtaceae family. Its growth is rapid, ultimately forming a large elegant tree with an ovate crown measuring from 15 to 20 m (49 ft 2 in to 65 ft 7 in) in height and 4 to 8 m (13 ft 1 in to 26 ft 2 in) in spread, depending on the growing conditions. Its bark is smooth all over and creamy white. The foliage remains juvenile for 4 or 5 years with rounded, small, blue-green leaves. The adult leaves are pendulous, larger, elliptical or lanceolate and incurved. Their colour is grey-green to bright green. This foliage gives off a typical Eucalyptus fragrance when crushed, with notes of cinnamon. The flowering stretches from November to May, depending on the climate and the age. Generally, it occurs in February-March. The flowers are grouped in threes at the leaf axils in white glomerules. This Mountain White Gum generally grows as a single upright trunk. It has received an Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society in England.
Eucalyptus dalrympleana is an imposing tree best suited for large gardens. Easy to care for, it is resistant down to -15° C once mature. It is an ornamental plant at all stages of its growth, young and mature. Undemanding in terms of soil, it tolerates a bit of lime and grows in well-drained, neutral to slightly acidic, dry to ordinary soil, in full sun. It requires space, but has numerous ornamental qualities.

Planting and care
Eucalyptus dalrympleana is best planted at the beginning of autumn or at the start of spring, in well-prepared soil, not too dry to moist, and in a very sunny situation. Clayey or silty soils, even chalky ones, are well tolerated. This mountain species doesn't like hot summers and dry lands much. Water well at planting, then regularly for the first year, especially in dry weather and if the summer is dry and hot. Then let nature take its course, the growth is very rapid. There's no need for pruning, but the young plant will tolerate pruning well after 3 or 4 years. In March, you can cut back near the soil to form a beautiful, dense bush, 2-3 m (6 ft 7 in-9 ft 10 in) high.
This eucalyptus loves moist and deep soil, close to ditches or the compost pile. Its roots are less powerful than those of other species, allowing it to be installed closer to foundations and installations (septic tank, for example).

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
