Planted as a 30/40 cm plant in April 2025 – Loiret. It is now 100 cm. Very beautiful, grows without difficulty. I was worried about a few yellow leaves, but was reassured by Promesse de Fleurs that it was normal given all the new shoots....

Description
Eucalyptus gunnii 'Azura' is a new variety of cider gum with excellent hardiness, moderate growth, a superb columnar and dense habit, and extremely bright grey-blue foliage. This superb novelty quickly forms a flexible and dancing small tree, decorative throughout the year. It will enhance the garden, whether planted as a solitary specimen, in a grove, or as a hedge, and will bring a touch of exoticism and elegance to a patio when planted in a large container. Its fine foliage is gently aromatic and incredibly luminous. It looks superb in bouquets. Easy to maintain, it adapts to all well-drained and not too chalky soils. On the other hand, it requires full sun to give its best. This excellent cultivar was awarded in the Netherlands in 2012.
'Azura' is a small tree from the Myrtaceae family. It descends from Eucalyptus gunnii, native to the mountainous regions of Tasmania, and was selected in central France: among numerous seedlings, it is the only one that survived a severe winter. With rapid growth, it naturally has a conical habit and numerous branches from the base of the trunk. At maturity, this small tree will reach about 10m (33ft) in height with a 2m (7ft) spread if not pruned. Pruned every year in spring, it will be wider, extremely dense but shorter (less than 5m (16ft) in height and about 3m (10ft) in spread). Like its ancestor, 'Azura' has evergreen foliage in winter that is pleasantly aromatic when crushed. However, its foliage is remarkably grey-blue, carried by green branches when young. Its bark regularly exfoliates, revealing fresh yellow to pinkish hues. The foliage consists of rounded or heart-shaped leaves, measuring about 4 to 5cm (2in) in length. The flowering takes place in August-September. It consists of fragrant flowers in the form of tiny white-pinkish pompoms, which are very popular with insects.
Eucalyptus gunnii 'Azura' works wonders in scenes dominated by white or silver. Planted as a hedge with other shrubs, in groups or as a solitary specimen, it brings an exotic touch to the garden. For example, plant it with purple foliage (Sambucus 'Black Lace', Cotinus 'Royal Purple'), or golden foliage (Catalpa bignonioides 'Aurea', golden honey locust). On a balcony or patio, its lightness and the brilliance of its foliage will bring an intense bluish, almost metallic note. It is easy to maintain, very hardy, and water-efficient. It is an elegant plant at all stages of its growth, both as a young plant and as an adult. Its exceptional frost resistance allows it to be grown in most of our regions.

Planting and care
Ideally, plant it at the beginning of spring, in well-drained soil that is not too chalky. Choose a sunny position that is sheltered from strong and cold winds. Then let nature take its course! Its growth rate is very rapid. Water regularly to help your eucalyptus settle, as well as in the first summers if it is very dry. Pruning is not necessary, but it is tolerated in spring. Optional watering and fertilisation once the bush is well established. In March, you can cut back to ground level to form a beautiful, bushy shrub, 2 to 3m (7 to 10ft) high. It grows well in pots, which should be be large enough and filled with light and rich substrate. Water carefully.

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).
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 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.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
