Eucalyptus subcrenulata, also known as Alpine Yellow Gum, is a botanical species native to the highlands of Tasmania, the southern island of Australia. Because of its distant mountainous origin from the Tropic of Capricorn, it displays good hardiness, which makes it easier to acclimatise in our gardens. A tree with moderate growth, it reaches about fifteen metres in height with a conical to slightly spreading habit. Although its flowers are of little interest, it is decorative due to its beautiful smooth bark where different shades mix, as well as its lovely bright green, evergreen foliage. Tolerating a little limestone in the soil, it grows in the sun in humus-bearing, well-draining soils, not too dry in summer.
Eucalyptus subcrenulata belongs to the large Myrtaceae family, like the Callistemon (Bottlebrush), the Feijoa or the Myrtle. The Eucalyptus genus has more than 800 species, virtually all native to Australia, except for a few from Southeast Asia. This one is endemic to Tasmania, an island in the extreme south of Australia, it develops there in the central part, in highlands and alpine regions. This Eucalyptus most often grows on slopes that are humus-bearing and rocky, well exposed to the sun.
With moderately fast growth, it forms a medium-sized tree, 15 to 20 m (49 ft 2 in to 65 ft 7 in) high, and half as wide. The trunk is generally clear at the base, and supports conical branching, with a sometimes slightly spreading crown. The very smooth bark displays a beautiful combination of colours, pale grey, beige or brown, and green-yellow. Like most species, this Eucalyptus has a juvenile foliage different from the adult. The young leaves are sessile (without petiole) and opposite, ovate in shape. Then, the adult foliage has an alternate arrangement, with lanceolate leaves, measuring 5 to 13 cm (2 to 5.1 in) long and 2 to 4.5 cm (0.8 to 1.8 in) wide and equipped with petioles up to 3.5 cm (1.4 in) long. Containing glands rich in essential oils, they give off a spicy scent when crushed. They are evergreen and lovely, shiny green.
Flowering occurs mainly between December and March in Tasmania (in the southern hemisphere which corresponds to our summer). The insignificant inflorescences gather in 3 floral buds, which open onto small white flowers of which we mainly see the 2 cm (0.8 in) diameter stamen. They then evolve into small fruits, greenish to brown-grey, also insignificant.
This Eucalyptus has several interesting features for ornamental use. Firstly, its hardiness of around -15°C, which allows it to be planted in most regions. Then, although it prefers neutral to acid soils, it tolerates limestone soils quite well. Finally, while it does not like drought, it is still quite tolerant of most conditions, just not tolerating excess water (it needs draining soil).
Eucalyptus subcrenulata will allow many garden owners to enjoy a species that is relatively easy to acclimatise, and much less known than the classic E. gunnii. This medium-sized tree can be planted alone or in the background to give an exotic air to the garden, even in a cool climate. It can then be associated with bushes like the Grevillea juniperina, very decorative with its dark green foliage that highlights its long-lasting bright red flowering. In a milder climate, the Azara microphylla, or Chilean Mimosa, will also be a good companion with its small dark green leaves enhanced by its delicately scented yellow spring flowering. To complete the scene, a few feet of Phormium in various colours, green, purple, variegated with yellow or other, will look great at the foot of this Eucalyptus.

Botanical data
Eucalyptus subcrenulata is best planted at the beginning of spring in cold regions, and the beginning of autumn in warmer climates, in well-drained soil, still moist in summer, as it does not like dryness. Preferring neutral to acidic soils, it nevertheless tolerates slightly chalky ones. Plant it in a sunny exposure. A well-established subject is hardy down to -15 °C (5 °F) in these conditions, young plants are more tender. In many regions, you can plant it in open ground, ensuring good drainage with some coarse sand, pozzolan or gravel. Then let nature take its course, the growth is quite rapid. Water regularly for the first two years, then in summer, especially in drier regions. Fertiliser is not recommended. Pruning is well tolerated, after flowering.
Gum trees are useful for drying out wet soils, as they are big water consumers even in winter. Mountain species are useful for their hardiness, but they dislike heatwaves and dry soil.

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 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).
