Alpine Cider Gum As Eucalyptus goes, this is a relatively small species, making it a good choice for smaller gardens. Its blue tinted evergreen foliage casts a nice dappled shade, and its gorgeous bright bark deserves a place in any garden. As with almost all Eucalyptus, it is a dream for florists as its foliage stays green for months, and its characteristic scent fills rooms.
