A dense species of Eucalyptus with attractive silvery heart-shaped leaves with serrated edges that are used widely in cut flower arrangements. It’s clusters of creamy white flowers occur profusely during spring. The foliage provides a contrast with other foliage in the garden.

Eucalyptus crenulata is a fast growing species, suitable to use as a screen. This versatile species will do well in both moist and well-drained locations. Eucalyptus crenulata is on Victoria’s endangered species list, there are many more specimens in cultivation than in the natural environment. It occurs naturally only in the wild in the Acheron River valley and at Yering near Yarra Glen and in Victoria.

The bark of the mature Eucalyptus crenulata tree is persistent and rough over most of the lower trunk, but gives way to smooth bark on the upper trunk and branches. Buxton Gum is one of the few Eucalyptus species which retains distinctive juvenile-type foliage throughout its life.

Germination Tips: Sow Eucalyptus crenulata seed in a seed-raising mix just below the surface. Soaking seeds for 24 hours can help soften the seed coat and encourage germination. Water with a fine mist spray to avoid disturbance of the seed. Germination generally occurs in around 10-28 days.
